Large-Scale Exploration of Cave Environments by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Pavel Petracek, Vit Kratky, Matej Petrlik +3
This paper presents a self-contained system for the robust utilization of aerial robots in the autonomous exploration of cave environments to help human explorers, first responders…
New Era in Cultural Heritage Preservation: Cooperative Aerial Autonomy
Pavel Petracek, Vit Kratky, Tomas Baca +2
Digital documentation of large interiors of historical buildings is an exhausting task since most of the areas of interest are beyond typical human reach. We advocate the use of au…
MRS Modular UAV Hardware Platforms for Supporting Research in Real-World Outdoor and Indoor Environments
Daniel Hert, Tomas Baca, Pavel Petracek +16
This paper presents a family of autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) platforms designed for a diverse range of indoor and outdoor applications. The proposed UAV design is hig…
LIDAR-based Stabilization, Navigation and Localization for UAVs Operating in Dark Indoor Environments
Matěj Petrl\' ik, Tom\' aš Krajn\' ik, Martin Saska
Autonomous operation of UAVs in a closed environment requires precise and reliable pose estimate that can stabilize the UAV without using external localization systems such as GNSS…
