MonoRace: Winning Champion-Level Drone Racing with Robust Monocular AI
Stavrow A. Bahnam, Robin Ferede, Till M. Blaha +6
Autonomous drone racing represents a major frontier in robotics research. It requires an Artificial Intelligence (AI) that can run on board light-weight flying robots under tight r…
Breaking the Circle: An Autonomous Control-Switching Strategy for Stable Orographic Soaring in MAVs
Sunyou Hwang, Christophe De Wagter, Bart Remes +1
Orographic soaring can significantly extend the endurance of micro aerial vehicles (MAVs), but circling behavior, arising from control conflicts between the longitudinal and vertic…
Neuromorphic Attitude Estimation and Control
Stein Stroobants, Christophe de Wagter, Guido C. H. E. De Croon
The real-world application of small drones is mostly hampered by energy limitations. Neuromorphic computing promises extremely energy-efficient AI for autonomous flight but is stil…
Taming Contrast Maximization for Learning Sequential, Low-latency, Event-based Optical Flow
Federico Paredes-Vallés, Kirk Y. W. Scheper, Christophe De Wagter +1
Event cameras have recently gained significant traction since they open up new avenues for low-latency and low-power solutions to complex computer vision problems. To unlock these…
An Experimental Study of Wind Resistance and Power Consumption in MAVs with a Low-Speed Multi-Fan Wind System
Diana A. Olejnik, Sunyi Wang, Julien Dupeyroux +4
This paper discusses a low-cost, open-source and open-hardware design and performance evaluation of a low-speed, multi-fan wind system dedicated to micro air vehicle (MAV) testing.…
The Artificial Intelligence behind the winning entry to the 2019 AI Robotic Racing Competition
Christophe De Wagter, Federico Paredes-Vallés, Nilay Sheth +1
Robotics is the next frontier in the progress of Artificial Intelligence (AI), as the real world in which robots operate represents an enormous, complex, continuous state space wit…
