HUNT: High-Speed UAV Navigation and Tracking in Unstructured Environments via Instantaneous Relative Frames
Alessandro Saviolo, Jeffrey Mao, Giuseppe Loianno
Search and rescue operations require unmanned aerial vehicles to both traverse unknown unstructured environments at high speed and track targets once detected. Achieving both capab…
Time-Optimized Safe Navigation in Unstructured Environments through Learning Based Depth Completion
Jeffrey Mao, Raghuram Cauligi Srinivas, Steven Nogar +1
Quadrotors hold significant promise for several applications such as agriculture, search and rescue, and infrastructure inspection. Achieving autonomous operation requires systems…
Trajectory Planning and Control for Differentially Flat Fixed-Wing Aerial Systems
Luca Morando, Sanket A. Salunkhe, Nishanth Bobbili +5
Efficient real-time trajectory planning and control for fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles is challenging due to their non-holonomic nature, complex dynamics, and the additional u…
From Propeller Damage Estimation and Adaptation to Fault Tolerant Control: Enhancing Quadrotor Resilience
Jeffrey Mao, Jennifer Yeom, Suraj Nair +1
Aerial robots are required to remain operational even in the event of system disturbances, damages, or failures to ensure resilient and robust task completion and safety. One commo…
AutoCharge: Autonomous Charging for Perpetual Quadrotor Missions
Alessandro Saviolo, Jeffrey Mao, Roshan Balu T M B +2
Battery endurance represents a key challenge for long-term autonomy and long-range operations, especially in the case of aerial robots. In this paper, we propose AutoCharge, an aut…
GaPT: Gaussian Process Toolkit for Online Regression with Application to Learning Quadrotor Dynamics
Francesco Crocetti, Jeffrey Mao, Alessandro Saviolo +2
Gaussian Processes (GPs) are expressive models for capturing signal statistics and expressing prediction uncertainty. As a result, the robotics community has gathered interest in l…
Robust Active Visual Perching with Quadrotors on Inclined Surfaces
Jeffrey Mao, Stephen Nogar, Christopher Kroninger +1
Autonomous Micro Aerial Vehicles are deployed for a variety tasks including surveillance and monitoring. Perching and staring allow the vehicle to monitor targets without flying, s…
Aggressive Visual Perching with Quadrotors on Inclined Surfaces
Jeffrey Mao, Guanrui Li, Stephen Nogar +2
Autonomous Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) have the potential to be employed for surveillance and monitoring tasks. By perching and staring on one or multiple locations aerial robots…
