Range-Only Localization System for Small-Scale Flapping-Wing Robots
Raul Tapia, Ivan Gutierrez Rodriguez, Javier Luna-Santamaria +2
The design of localization systems for small-scale flapping-wing aerial robots faces relevant challenges caused by the limited payload and onboard computational resources. This pap…
On the Benefits of Visual Stabilization for Frame- and Event-based Perception
Juan Pablo Rodriguez-Gomez, Jose Ramiro Martinez-de Dios, Anibal Ollero +1
Vision-based perception systems are typically exposed to large orientation changes in different robot applications. In such conditions, their performance might be compromised due t…
AERIAL-CORE: AI-Powered Aerial Robots for Inspection and Maintenance of Electrical Power Infrastructures
Anibal Ollero, Alejandro Suarez, Christos Papaioannidis +27
Large-scale infrastructures are prone to deterioration due to age, environmental influences, and heavy usage. Ensuring their safety through regular inspections and maintenance is c…
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…
A Comparison between Frame-based and Event-based Cameras for Flapping-Wing Robot Perception
Raul Tapia, Juan Pablo Rodríguez-Gómez, Juan Antonio Sanchez-Diaz +5
Perception systems for ornithopters face severe challenges. The harsh vibrations and abrupt movements caused during flapping are prone to produce motion blur and strong lighting co…
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…
