   Abstract : It is difficult to prepare for events with large-scale consequences and low probability. Simulation exercises (SimEx) provide the opportunity to improve preparedness through strengthening capabilities before an actual emergency. Conducting a SimEx could be very expensive and therefore the SimEx should be thoroughly evaluated. READ MORE

4. 18. Optimization-Based Path Planning For Indoor UAVs in an Autonomous Exploration Framework

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

   Author : Marco Cella; [2023]
   Keywords : Optimal Path Planning; B-Splines; Autonomous Exploration; Indoor UAV; Crisis and Disaster Management; Trajectory Estimation; SITL; Optimal Banplanering; B-Splines; Autonom Utforskning; Inomhus-UAV; Kris- och Katastrofhantering; Uppskattning av Banor; SITL;

   Abstract : Exploration is a fundamental problem in robotics that requires robots to navigate through unknown environments to autonomously gather information about their surroundings while executing collision-free paths. In this project, we propose a method for producing smooth paths during the exploration process in indoor environments using UAVs to improve battery efficiency and enhance the quality of pose estimation.

   Author : Petter Sundqvist; [2023]
   Keywords : Household Social Vulnerability Index; Principal Component Analysis; Vulnerability Map; Natural Hazards; Disaster Risk Management; Flood Vulnerability; Social Registry; United Beneficiary Registry; Malawi; Nsanje;

   Abstract : Social factors moderate the impacts of natural hazards, which means that households are affected differently when exposed to the same hazard. This differential impact of hazards can be explained by the concept of social vulnerability, which is commonly assessed to inform disaster preparedness and response action. READ MORE
