FALCON-S: Fixed-wing ground-effect Aerodynamics Simulator and Flight Control Learning Suite
Matteo El Hariry, Pedro Lima, Andrej Orsula +2
We present a modular, high-fidelity simulation framework for the development and benchmarking of flight control strategies in fixed-wing aerial robots operating near the ground. Un…
Asymptotically-Bounded 3D Frontier Exploration enhanced with Bayesian Information Gain
John Lewis, Meysam Basiri, Pedro U. Lima
Robotic exploration in large-scale environments is computationally demanding due to the high overhead of processing extensive frontiers. This article presents an OctoMap-based fron…
Enhancing Multi-Robot Exploration Using Probabilistic Frontier Prioritization with Dirichlet Process Gaussian Mixtures
John Lewis Devassy, Meysam Basiri, Mário A. T. Figueiredo +1
Multi-agent autonomous exploration is essential for applications such as environmental monitoring, search and rescue, and industrial-scale surveillance. However, effective coordina…
Frontier Shepherding: A Bio-inspired Multi-robot Framework for Large-Scale Exploration
John Lewis, Meysam Basiri, Pedro U. Lima
Efficient exploration of large-scale environments remains a critical challenge in robotics, with applications ranging from environmental monitoring to search and rescue operations.…
