First free-flight flow visualisation of a flapping-wing robot
Matěj Karásek, Mustafa Percin, Torbjørn Cunis +4
Flow visualisations are essential to better understand the unsteady aerodynamics of flapping wing flight. The issues inherent to animal experiments, such as poor controllability an…
Efficient Optical flow and Stereo Vision for Velocity Estimation and Obstacle Avoidance on an Autonomous Pocket Drone
Kimberly McGuire, Guido de Croon, Christophe De Wagter +2
Miniature Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAV) are very suitable for flying in indoor environments, but autonomous navigation is challenging due to their strict hardware limitations. This p…
Obstacle Avoidance Strategy using Onboard Stereo Vision on a Flapping Wing MAV
Sjoerd Tijmons, Guido de Croon, Bart Remes +2
The development of autonomous lightweight MAVs, capable of navigating in unknown indoor environments, is one of the major challenges in robotics. The complexity of this challenge c…
Local Histogram Matching for Efficient Optical Flow Computation Applied to Velocity Estimation on Pocket Drones
Kimberly McGuire, Guido de Croon, Christophe de Wagter +3
Autonomous flight of pocket drones is challenging due to the severe limitations on on-board energy, sensing, and processing power. However, tiny drones have great potential as thei…
