MROPE: A Multi-Robot Safe Cooperative Strategy via combined Predictive Safety Filters and Ellipse-based Constraint Compression
Alice Rosetti, Lorenzo Pichierri, Domenico Cappello +2
Deploying drone swarms to track a dynamic target in cluttered environments presents severe computational and safety challenges. We propose MROPE, a hierarchical strategy that decou…
Reconfigurable Drone System for Transportation of Parcels With Variable Mass and Size
Fabrizio Schiano, Przemyslaw Mariusz Kornatowski, Leonardo Cencetti +1
Cargo drones are designed to carry payloads with predefined shape, size, and/or mass. This lack of flexibility requires a fleet of diverse drones tailored to specific cargo dimensi…
Personalized Human-Swarm Interaction through Hand Motion
Matteo Macchini, Ludovic De Matteïs, Fabrizio Schiano +1
The control of collective robotic systems, such as drone swarms, is often delegated to autonomous navigation algorithms due to their high dimensionality. However, like other roboti…
The Impact of Virtual Reality and Viewpoints in Body Motion Based Drone Teleoperation
Matteo Macchini, Manana Lortkipanidze, Fabrizio Schiano +1
The operation of telerobotic systems can be a challenging task, requiring intuitive and efficient interfaces to enable inexperienced users to attain a high level of proficiency. Bo…
Vision-based Drone Flocking in Outdoor Environments
Fabian Schilling, Fabrizio Schiano, Dario Floreano
Decentralized deployment of drone swarms usually relies on inter-agent communication or visual markers that are mounted on the vehicles to simplify their mutual detection. This let…
Does spontaneous motion lead to intuitive Body-Machine Interfaces? A fitness study of different body segments for wearable telerobotics
Matteo Macchini, Jan Frogg, Fabrizio Schiano +1
Human-Robot Interfaces (HRIs) represent a crucial component in telerobotic systems. Body-Machine Interfaces (BoMIs) based on body motion can feel more intuitive than standard HRIs…
VIO-UWB-Based Collaborative Localization and Dense Scene Reconstruction within Heterogeneous Multi-Robot Systems
Jorge Peña Queralta, Li Qingqing, Fabrizio Schiano +1
Effective collaboration in multi-robot systems requires accurate and robust estimation of relative localization: from cooperative manipulation to collaborative sensing, and includi…
SwarmLab: a Matlab Drone Swarm Simulator
Enrica Soria, Fabrizio Schiano, Dario Floreano
Among the available solutions for drone swarm simulations, we identified a gap in simulation frameworks that allow easy algorithms prototyping, tuning, debugging and performance an…
Hand-worn Haptic Interface for Drone Teleoperation
Matteo Macchini, Thomas Havy, Antoine Weber +2
Drone teleoperation is usually accomplished using remote radio controllers, devices that can be hard to master for inexperienced users. Moreover, the limited amount of information…
UWB-based system for UAV Localization in GNSS-Denied Environments: Characterization and Dataset
Jorge Peña Queralta, Carmen Martínez Almansa, Fabrizio Schiano +2
Small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have penetrated multiple domains over the past years. In GNSS-denied or indoor environments, aerial robots require a robust and stable localiza…
Learning Vision-based Flight in Drone Swarms by Imitation
Fabian Schilling, Julien Lecoeur, Fabrizio Schiano +1
Decentralized drone swarms deployed today either rely on sharing of positions among agents or detecting swarm members with the help of visual markers. This work proposes an entirel…
Learning Vision-based Cohesive Flight in Drone Swarms
Fabian Schilling, Julien Lecoeur, Fabrizio Schiano +1
This paper presents a data-driven approach to learning vision-based collective behavior from a simple flocking algorithm. We simulate a swarm of quadrotor drones and formulate the…
