Safe Autonomous Docking Maneuvers for a Floating Platform based on Input Sharing Control Barrier Functions
Akshit Saradagi, Avijit Banerjee, Sumeet Satpute +1
In this article, we present a control strategy for the problem of safe autonomous docking for a planar floating platform (Slider) that emulates the movement of a satellite. Employi…
Multi-Stage NMPC for a MAV based Collision Free Navigation under Varying Communication Delays
Andreas Papadimitriou, Hedyeh Jafari, Sina Sharif Mansouri +1
Time delays in communication networks are one of the main concerns in deploying robots with computation boards on the edge. This article proposes a multi-stage Nonlinear Model Pred…
Reactive Navigation of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle with Perception-based Obstacle Avoidance Constraints
Björn Lindqvist, Sina Sharif Mansouri, Jakub Haluška +1
In this article we propose a reactive constrained navigation scheme, with embedded obstacles avoidance for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), for enabling navigation in obstacle-den…
REF: A Rapid Exploration Framework for Deploying Autonomous MAVs in Unknown Environments
Akash Patel, Björn Lindqvist, Christoforos Kanellakis +2
Exploration and mapping of unknown environments is a fundamental task in applications for autonomous robots. In this article, we present a complete framework for deploying MAVs in…
