3. 22. A Positioning System for Landing a UAV on a UGV in a GNSS-Denied Scenario

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för systemteknik

   Author : Tim Wiik; [2022]
   Keywords : Sensor fusion; UAV; UGV; NIR-LED; Extended kalman filter; Unmanned Aerial Vehicle; Unmanned Ground Vehicle; Autonomous Landing; GNSS-denied Scenario;

   Abstract : A system of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) collaborating with an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) for use in for example surveillance, reconnaissance, transport and target acquisition is studied. The project investigates the problem of estimating the relative position, velocity and orientation between the UAV and the UGV required to autonomously land the UAV on the UGV during movement.
