  1. 6. Rapidly-Exploring Random Trees for real-time combined Exploration andPath Planning

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Kalle Löfgren; [2023]
    Keywords : Robotics; RRT; ERRT; Exploration; Autonomous exploration; path planning; goal generation;

    Abstract : The use of micro aerial vehicles (MAV) for civilian use such as exploration and inspection of varying structures, equipment and areas have garnered some interest as of late. MAVs have the mobility and agility to traverse three dimensional space quickly and access hard to reach areas where other alternatives would struggle, but a flying platform such as a MAV comes with it’s own set of distinct problems.

  3. 7. Intelligent Drone Swarms : Motion planning and safe collision avoidance control of autonomous drone swarms

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för systemteknik

    Author : Hilding Gunnarsson; Adam Åsbrink; [2022]
    Keywords : Artificial Potential Field APF ; Control Barrier Function CBF ; Leader Follower control; Micro Aerial Vehicle MAV ; Optimal motion planning;

    Abstract : The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), so-called drones, has been growingrapidly in the last decade. Today, they are used for, among other things, monitoring missions and inspections of places that are difficult for people to access. Toefficiently and robustly execute these types of missions, a swarm of drones maybe used, i.e. READ MORE

  4. 8. Conceptual Design of an Ekranoplan UAV

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Sheng-An Yu; [2022]
    Keywords : Ekranoplan; Unmanned ground effect vehicle UGEV ; vertical take-off and landing VTOL ; aircraft design; Ekranoplan; Obemannad markeffektfarkost UGEV ; Vertikal Start och Landning VTOL ; Flygplansdesign;

    Abstract : Unmanned aerial system (UAS) has developed into an important platform of high-altitude photography, which can be applied in animal studies, pollution forensics and geographic monitoring. This thesis work aims to design a unmanned ground effect vehicle (UGEV) in order to provide a much better and flexible solution to future applications. READ MORE

  5. 9. RayTracing Analysis and Simulator Design of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Communication and Detection System in Urban Environment

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Jie Huang; [2022]

    Abstract : In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), also called drones, have experienced a rapid increase, which leads to the concern of illegal use of them. Passive RF is one of the effective ways to detect drones by receiving drones’ communication signals. READ MORE

  6. 10. Thermal human detection for Search & Rescue UAVs

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

    Author : Tobias Wiklund-Oinonen; [2022]
    Keywords : Mechatronics; drone; object detection; search rescue; thermal camera; UAV; SAR; YOLO; EfficientDet; TensorFlow; Mekatronik; drönare; värmekamera; räddningsuppdrag; UAV; SAR; YOLO; EfficientDet; TensorFlow;

    Abstract : Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) could play an important role in Search & Rescue (SAR) operations thanks to their ability to cover large, remote, or inaccessible search areas quickly without putting any personnel at risk. As UAVs are becoming autonomous, the problem of identifying humans in a variety of conditions can be solved with computer vision implemented with a thermal camera. READ MORE
