  1. 16. Evaluation of solar powered systems in small scale UAV designs

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

    Author : Lukas Girlevicius; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) also know as drones are becoming increasingly present in modern societies. Despite their versatility and success in many areas, small scale UAVs which are nearly always battery powered and therefore have limited flight endurance. READ MORE

  3. 17. Autonomous UAV Path Planning using RSS signals in Search and Rescue Operations

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Reglerteknik

    Author : Axel Anhammer; Hugo Lundeberg; [2022]
    Keywords : UAV; DQN; Deep Q Network; particle filter; point mass filter; MDP; POMDP; Markov decision process; partially observable Markov decision process;

    Abstract : Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have emerged as a promising technology in search and rescue operations (SAR). UAVs have the ability to provide more timely localization, thus decreasing the crucial duration of SAR operations. READ MORE

  4. 18. Building A Fixed Wing Autonomous UAV

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

    Author : Erik Barsby; Casper Augustsson Savinov; [2022]
    Keywords : fixed wing; bachelor thesis; KTH; Ardupilot; autopilot; electric propulsion; UAV; autonomous.;

    Abstract : The goal of this bachelor thesis has been to evaluate and test the available open source software and commercial hardwarefor potential later use as the electrical system in the ALPHAUAV. ALPHA is a student project, with the goal of building an autonomous drone capable of high altitude, long-endurance missions to gather data from electromagnetic phenomena in the atmosphere. READ MORE

  5. 19. Obtaining Pitch Control for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Through System Identification

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

    Author : Lucia Karens; Tawsiful Islam; [2022]
    Keywords : pitch control; flight tests; unmanned aerial vehicles UAV ; system identification; PID control;

    Abstract : This study aimed to develop and evaluate a method to obtain a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. The controller is for a control surface that controls pitch motion, by using data from flight tests with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). READ MORE

  6. 20. 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
