  1. 1. Robust light source detection for AUV docking

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

    Author : Joar Edlund; [2023]
    Keywords : Autonomous Underwater Vehicle; Docking; Detection; Poseestimation; Visual Navigation; Autonoma Undervattensfordon; Dockning; Detektering; Positionsestimering; Visuell Navigation;

    Abstract : For Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) to be able to conduct longterm surveys, the ability to return to a docking station for maintenance and recharging is crucial. A dynamic docking system where a slowly moving submarine acts as the docking station provides increased hydrodynamic control and reduces the impact of environmental disturbances. READ MORE

  3. 2. Autonomous Navigation: LIDAR-based SLAM, Terrain of Technology Explored

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

    Author : Oscar Sanner; [2023]
    Keywords : MSc; SLAM; Pathing; ICP; FastSLAM; LIDAR; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In this thesis, an autonomous system capable of navigating and mapping unknown environments is developed. The solution uses a family of algorithms called SLAM or simultaneous localization and mapping, capable of mapping the environment and retaining accurate position data without external sensors such as GPS.

  4. 3. Robust Non-Linear State Estimation for Underwater Acoustic Localization : Expanding on Gaussian Mixture Methods

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

    Author : Diogo Antunes; [2023]
    Keywords : Robust state estimation; Underwater localization; Target tracking; Gaussian mixture; AUV; Estimação robusta de estado; Localização subaquática; Rastreamento de alvos; Mistura Gaussiana; AUV; Robust tillståndsuppskattning; Undervattenslokalisering; Målspårning; Gaussisk blandning; AUV;

    Abstract : Robust state estimation solutions must deal with faulty measurements, called outliers, and unknown data associations, which lead to multiple feasible hypotheses. Take, for instance, the scenario of tracking two indistinguishable targets based on position measurements, where each measurement could refer to either of the targets or even be a faulty reading.

  5. 4. Autonomous Navigation in Partially-Known Environment using Nano Drones with AI-based Obstacle Avoidance : A Vision-based Reactive Planning Approach for Autonomous Navigation of Nano Drones

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

    Author : Mattia Sartori; [2023]
    Keywords : Nano Drones; Obstacle Avoidance; Autonomous Exploration; Autonomous Surveillance; Resource-Constrained Drones; Safe Navigation; Reactive Planning; Vision-based Navigation; Nanodrönare; Undvikande av Hinder; Autonom Utforskning; Autonom Övervakning; Resursbegränsade Drönare; Säker Navigering; Reaktiv Planering; Visionsbaserad Navigering;

    Abstract : The adoption of small-size Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in the commercial and professional sectors is rapidly growing. The miniaturisation of sensors and processors, the advancements in connected edge intelligence and the exponential interest in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are boosting the affirmation of autonomous nano-size drones in the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem.

  6. 5. Comparison and performance analysis of deep learning techniques for pedestrian detection in self-driving vehicles

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Raahitya Botta; Aditya Aditya; [2023]
    Keywords : Artificial Intelligence AI ; Dataset; Deep learning; Object detection; Pedestrian detection; Performance analysis; Self-driving vehicles.;

    Abstract : Background: Self-driving cars, also known as automated cars are a form of vehicle that can move without a driver or human involvement to control it. They employ numerous pieces of equipment to forecast the car’s navigation, and the car’s path is determined depending on the output of these devices. READ MORE
