Free as a Bird: Event-based Dynamic Sense-and-Avoid for Ornithopter Robot Flight
J. P. Rodríguez-Gómez, R. Tapia, M. M. Guzmán +2
Autonomous flight of flapping-wing robots is a major challenge for robot perception. Most of the previous sense-and-avoid works have studied the problem of obstacle avoidance for f…
Experimental Energy Consumption Analysis of a Flapping-Wing Robot
Raul Tapia, Alvaro Cesar Satue, Saeed Rafee Nekoo +2
One of the motivations for exploring flapping-wing aerial robotic systems is to seek energy reduction, by maintaining manoeuvrability, compared to conventional unmanned aerial syst…
Perception-Aware Perching on Powerlines with Multirotors
Julio L. Paneque, Jose Ramiro Martínez de Dios, Aníbal Ollero. Drew Hanover +3
Multirotor aerial robots are becoming widely used for the inspection of powerlines. To enable continuous, robust inspection without human intervention, the robots must be able to p…
The GRIFFIN Perception Dataset: Bridging the Gap Between Flapping-Wing Flight and Robotic Perception
J. P. Rodríguez-Gómez, R. Tapia, J. L. Paneque +4
The development of automatic perception systems and techniques for bio-inspired flapping-wing robots is severely hampered by the high technical complexity of these platforms and th…
Kinodynamic Planning for an Energy-Efficient Autonomous Ornithopter
Fabio Rodríguez, José-Miguel Díaz-Báñez, Ernesto Sanchez-Laulhe +2
This paper presents a novel algorithm to plan energy-efficient trajectories for autonomous ornithopters. In general, trajectory optimization is quite a relevant problem for practic…
Optimal Trajectory Planning for Cinematography with Multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Alfonso Alcántara, Jesús Capitán, Rita Cunha +1
This paper presents a method for planning optimal trajectories with a team of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) performing autonomous cinematography. The method is able to plan traje…
