  1. 1. Small scale VTOL aircraft using only one lift-producing motor : A study of lift capacity for a Vertical Take-Off and Landing capable aircraft

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Daniel Milenkovic; [2023]
    Keywords : Aircraft; VTOL; EDF; Mechatronics; Ardupilot; Luftfarkost; VTOL; EDF; Mekatronik; Ardupilot;

    Abstract : The usage of unmanned aerial vehicles in applications such as terrain mapping and surveillance is proliferating in the modern world. This project aims to investigate the feasibility, in terms of payload capacity and stability, of small scale winged aircraft that have the ability to lift and land vertically, while also being able to transition to normal forward flight using wings for primary lift.

  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. Local traversability assessment in an unmanned ground vehicle : An analysis of mobility on the UGV Husky

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

    Author : Kidus Y. Getahun; [2023]
    Keywords : UGV; Husky; Robotics Operating System; Traversability Estimation; Vehicle Dynamics; Elevation Mapping; UGV; Husky; Framkomlighets Bedömning; Fordonsdynamik;

    Abstract : This thesis project aims to learn and understand more about implementing a path planner to the unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), UGV Husky, specifically its traversability algorithm, and investigate how it could be further improved. A surrounding grid is generated around the UGV where each cell contains information connected to its traversability. READ MORE

  5. 4. Design of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle’s (AUV) Antenna System

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

    Author : Chengzhuang Zhou; [2021]
    Keywords : AUV Antenna; Printed Dipole Antenna; Broadband Antenna; AUV antenna; Printed dipole antenna; Broadband antenna;

    Abstract : The ocean symbolizes mystery, passion, and power. However, most of the ocean, about 80 %, is unknown to humans. AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles) provide a platform where terrain mapping, the biodiversity, and the resource survey of the ocean become accessible. READ MORE

  6. 5. Mapping Noise Pollution with Open-source GIS

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Samhällsbyggnad

    Author : Faustina Lina Yeboah; [2021]
    Keywords : Road traffic noise; CNOSSOS-EU; noise exposure; Lday; Levening; Lnight; Lden;

    Abstract : In a time when urban areas continue to expand, environmental noise pollution especially from road traffic remains a big challenge. This study was aimed at using open-source GIS tools to predict road traffic noise pollution using the mid-sized city of Gävle as a case study. READ MORE
