Data-Driven Predictive Planning and Control for Aerial 3D Inspection with Back-face Elimination
Savvas Papaioannou, Panayiotis Kolios, Christos G. Panayiotou +1
Automated inspection with Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) is a transformative capability set to revolutionize various application domains. However, this task is inherently complex,…
Cooperative Aerial Robot Inspection Challenge: A Benchmark for Heterogeneous Multi-UAV Planning and Lessons Learned
Muqing Cao, Thien-Minh Nguyen, Shenghai Yuan +12
We propose the Cooperative Aerial Robot Inspection Challenge (CARIC), a simulation-based benchmark for motion planning algorithms in heterogeneous multi-UAV systems. CARIC features…
Automated Real-Time Inspection in Indoor and Outdoor 3D Environments with Cooperative Aerial Robots
Andreas Anastasiou, Angelos Zacharia, Savvas Papaioannou +3
This work introduces a cooperative inspection system designed to efficiently control and coordinate a team of distributed heterogeneous UAV agents for the inspection of 3D structur…
Unscented Optimal Control for 3D Coverage Planning with an Autonomous UAV Agent
Savvas Papaioannou, Panayiotis Kolios, Theocharis Theocharides +2
We propose a novel probabilistically robust controller for the guidance of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in coverage planning missions, which can simultaneously optimize both th…
UAV-based Receding Horizon Control for 3D Inspection Planning
Savvas Papaioannou, Panayiotis Kolios, Theocharis Theocharides +2
Nowadays, unmanned aerial vehicles or UAVs are being used for a wide range of tasks, including infrastructure inspection, automated monitoring and coverage. This paper investigates…
Integrated Ray-Tracing and Coverage Planning Control using Reinforcement Learning
Savvas Papaioannou, Panayiotis Kolios, Theocharis Theocharides +2
In this work we propose a coverage planning control approach which allows a mobile agent, equipped with a controllable sensor (i.e., a camera) with limited sensing domain (i.e., fi…
Towards Automated 3D Search Planning for Emergency Response Missions
Savvas Papaioannou, Panayiotis Kolios, Theocharis Theocharides +2
The ability to efficiently plan and execute automated and precise search missions using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) during emergency response situations is imperative. Precise…
