Context-Aware RGB-Thermal-Radar Obstacle Perception for Resource-Constrained ASVs
Pranav Kedia, Edwin Redhead, Heiko Hamann
Reliable obstacle perception is challenging for small autonomous surface vessels (ASVs): reflections and glare confound visible-light cameras, vessel motion shifts the apparent wat…
Speed-Weighted Flocking for Sailing Swarms under Dynamic Environmental Forcing
Pranav Kedia, Aaron Gan, Hannah J. Williams +2
Collective behavior models, such as aggregation and flocking, usually assume self-propelled robots that can directly execute their desired speed and direction of motion without fun…
BIND-USBL: Bounding IMU Navigation Drift using USBL in Heterogeneous ASV-AUV Teams
Pranav Kedia, Rajini Makam, Heiko Hamann +1
Accurate and continuous localization of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) in GPS-denied environments is a persistent challenge in marine robotics. In the absence of external po…
COMB: Common Open Modular robotic platform for Bees
Pranav Kedia, Marie Messerich, Tim Landgraf
Experimental access to real honeybee colonies requires robotic systems capable of operating within limited spatial constraints, tolerating hive-specific fouling and environmental c…
GenGrid: A Generalised Distributed Experimental Environmental Grid for Swarm Robotics
Pranav Kedia, Madhav Rao
GenGrid is a novel comprehensive open-source, distributed platform intended for conducting extensive swarm robotic experiments. The modular platform is designed to run swarm roboti…
