TRADE: Object Tracking with 3D Trajectory and Ground Depth Estimates for UAVs
Pedro F. Proença, Patrick Spieler, Robert A. Hewitt +1
We propose TRADE for robust tracking and 3D localization of a moving target in cluttered environments, from UAVs equipped with a single camera. Ultimately TRADE enables 3d-aware ta…
INSANE: Cross-Domain UAV Data Sets with Increased Number of Sensors for developing Advanced and Novel Estimators
Christian Brommer, Alessandro Fornasier, Martin Scheiber +4
For real-world applications, autonomous mobile robotic platforms must be capable of navigating safely in a multitude of different and dynamic environments with accurate and robust…
Data-Efficient Collaborative Decentralized Thermal-Inertial Odometry
Vincenzo Polizzi, Robert Hewitt, Javier Hidalgo-Carrió +2
We propose a system solution to achieve data-efficient, decentralized state estimation for a team of flying robots using thermal images and inertial measurements. Each robot can fl…
Optimizing Terrain Mapping and Landing Site Detection for Autonomous UAVs
Pedro F. Proença, Jeff Delaune, Roland Brockers
The next generation of Mars rotorcrafts requires on-board autonomous hazard avoidance landing. To this end, this work proposes a system that performs continuous multi-resolution he…
Exploring Event Camera-based Odometry for Planetary Robots
Florian Mahlknecht, Daniel Gehrig, Jeremy Nash +4
Due to their resilience to motion blur and high robustness in low-light and high dynamic range conditions, event cameras are poised to become enabling sensors for vision-based expl…
Mid-Air Helicopter Delivery at Mars Using a Jetpack
Jeff Delaune, Jacob Izraelevitz, Samuel Sirlin +32
Mid-Air Helicopter Delivery (MAHD) is a new Entry, Descent and Landing (EDL) architecture to enable in situ mobility for Mars science at lower cost than previous missions. It uses…
