Fast Collective Evasion in Self-Localized Swarms of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Filip Novák, Viktor Walter, Pavel Petráček +2
A novel approach for achieving fast evasion in self-localized swarms of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) threatened by an intruding moving object is presented in this paper. Motivat…
RMS: Redundancy-Minimizing Point Cloud Sampling for Real-Time Pose Estimation
Pavel Petracek, Kostas Alexis, Martin Saska
The typical point cloud sampling methods used in state estimation for mobile robots preserve a high level of point redundancy. This redundancy unnecessarily slows down the estimati…
MRS Drone: A Modular Platform for Real-World Deployment of Aerial Multi-Robot Systems
Daniel Hert, Tomas Baca, Pavel Petracek +18
This paper presents a modular autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platform called the Multi-robot Systems (MRS) Drone that can be used in a large range of indoor and outdoor a…
Bio-Inspired Compact Swarms of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles without Communication and External Localization
Pavel Petracek, Viktor Walter, Tomas Baca +1
This article presents a unique framework for deploying decentralized and infrastructure-independent swarms of homogeneous aerial vehicles in the real world without explicit communi…
Dronument: System for Reliable Deployment of Micro Aerial Vehicles in Dark Areas of Large Historical Monuments
Pavel Petracek, Vit Kratky, Martin Saska
This letter presents a self-contained system for robust deployment of autonomous aerial vehicles in environments without access to global navigation systems and with limited lighti…
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…
Autonomous Reflectance Transformation Imaging by a Team of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Vít Krátký, Pavel Petráček, Vojtěch Spurný +1
A Reflectance Transformation Imaging technique (RTI) realized by multi-rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with a focus on deployment in difficult to access buildings is presente…
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…
UAVs Beneath the Surface: Cooperative Autonomy for Subterranean Search and Rescue in DARPA SubT
Matej Petrlik, Pavel Petracek, Vit Kratky +8
This paper presents a novel approach for autonomous cooperating UAVs in search and rescue operations in subterranean domains with complex topology. The proposed system was ranked s…
System for multi-robotic exploration of underground environments CTU-CRAS-NORLAB in the DARPA Subterranean Challenge
Tomáš Rouček, Martin Pecka, Petr Čížek +19
We present a field report of CTU-CRAS-NORLAB team from the Subterranean Challenge (SubT) organised by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The contest seeks to ad…
