Orientation Matters: Learning Radiation Patterns of Multi-Rotor UAVs In-Flight to Enhance Communication Availability Modeling
Martin Zoula, Daniel Bonilla Licea, Jan Faigl +2
The paper presents an approach for learning antenna Radiation Patterns (RPs) of a pair of heterogeneous quadrotor Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) by calibration flight data. RPs ar…
Reflection-Based Relative Localization for Cooperative UAV Teams Using Active Markers
Tim Lakemann, Daniel Bonilla Licea, Viktor Walter +1
Reflections of active markers in the environment are a common source of ambiguity in onboard visual relative localization. This work presents a novel approach that exploits these t…
Semantic-Aware UAV Command and Control for Efficient IoT Data Collection
Assane Sankara, Daniel Bonilla Licea, Hajar El Hammouti
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have emerged as a key enabler technology for data collection from Internet of Things (IoT) devices. However, effective data collection is challenged…
Communications-Aware NMPC for Multi-Rotor Aerial Relay Networks Under Jamming Interference
Giuseppe Silano, Daniel Bonilla Licea, Davide Liuzza +2
Multi-Rotor Aerial Vehicles (MRAVs) are increasingly used in communication-dependent missions where connectivity loss directly compromises task execution. Existing anti-jamming str…
Distributed UAV Formation Control Robust to Relative Pose Measurement Noise
Viktor Walter, Matouš Vrba, Daniel Bonilla Licea +2
A technique that allows a Formation-Enforcing Control (FEC) derived from graph rigidity theory to interface with a realistic relative localization system onboard lightweight Unmann…
Towards agile multi-robot systems in the real world: Fast onboard tracking of active blinking markers for relative localization
Tim Felix Lakemann, Daniel Bonilla Licea, Viktor Walter +2
A novel onboard tracking approach enabling vision-based relative localization and communication using Active blinking Marker Tracking (AMT) is introduced in this article. Active bl…
