Visibility-Aware Cooperative Tracking with Decentralized LiDAR-Based Aerial Swarms
Longji Yin, Yunfan Ren, Fangcheng Zhu +6
Autonomous aerial tracking with drones offers vast potential for surveillance, cinematography, and industrial inspection applications. While single-drone tracking systems have been…
FERMI: Flexible Radio Mapping with a Hybrid Propagation Model and Scalable Autonomous Data Collection
Yiming Luo, Yunfei Wang, Hongming Chen +6
Communication is fundamental for multi-robot collaboration, with accurate radio mapping playing a crucial role in predicting signal strength between robots. However, modeling radio…
Autonomous Tail-Sitter Flights in Unknown Environments
Guozheng Lu, Yunfan Ren, Fangcheng Zhu +5
Trajectory generation for fully autonomous flights of tail-sitter unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) presents substantial challenges due to their highly nonlinear aerodynamics. In thi…
Swashplateless-elevon Actuation for a Dual-rotor Tail-sitter VTOL UAV
Nan Chen, Fanze Kong, Haotian Li +6
In this paper, we propose a novel swashplateless-elevon actuation (SEA) for dual-rotor tail-sitter vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In contrast…
Towards Efficient Trajectory Generation for Ground Robots beyond 2D Environment
Jingping Wang, Long Xu, Haoran Fu +5
With the development of robotics, ground robots are no longer limited to planar motion. Passive height variation due to complex terrain and active height control provided by specia…
