Lighthouse Positioning System: Dataset, Accuracy, and Precision for UAV Research
Arnaud Taffanel, Barbara Rousselot, Jonas Danielsson +5
The Lighthouse system was originally developed as tracking system for virtual reality applications. Due to its affordable price, it has also found attractive use-cases in robotics…
A Comparative Study of Bug Algorithms for Robot Navigation
Kimberly McGuire, Guido de Croon, Karl Tuyls
This paper presents a literature survey and a comparative study of Bug Algorithms, with the goal of investigating their potential for robotic navigation. At first sight, these meth…
On-board Range-based Relative Localization for Micro Aerial Vehicles in indoor Leader-Follower Flight
Steven van der Helm, Kimberly N. McGuire, Mario Coppola +1
We present a range-based solution for indoor relative localization by Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs), achieving sufficient accuracy for leader-follower flight. Moving forward from previ…
Efficient Optical flow and Stereo Vision for Velocity Estimation and Obstacle Avoidance on an Autonomous Pocket Drone
Kimberly McGuire, Guido de Croon, Christophe De Wagter +2
Miniature Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAV) are very suitable for flying in indoor environments, but autonomous navigation is challenging due to their strict hardware limitations. This p…
On-board Communication-based Relative Localization for Collision Avoidance in Micro Air Vehicle teams
Mario Coppola, Kimberly McGuire, Kirk Y. W. Scheper +1
Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) will unlock their true potential once they can operate in groups. To this end, it is essential for them to estimate on-board the relative location of thei…
Local Histogram Matching for Efficient Optical Flow Computation Applied to Velocity Estimation on Pocket Drones
Kimberly McGuire, Guido de Croon, Christophe de Wagter +3
Autonomous flight of pocket drones is challenging due to the severe limitations on on-board energy, sensing, and processing power. However, tiny drones have great potential as thei…
