Swarming Without an Anchor (SWA): Robot Swarms Adapt Better to Localization Dropouts Then a Single Robot
Jiri Horyna, Roland Jung, Stephan Weiss +2
In this paper, we present the Swarming Without an Anchor (SWA) approach to state estimation in swarms of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) experiencing ego-localization dropout, wher…
A Minimalistic 3D Self-Organized UAV Flocking Approach for Desert Exploration
Thulio Amorim, Tiago Nascimento, Akash Chaudhary +2
In this work, we propose a minimalistic swarm flocking approach for multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Our approach allows the swarm to achieve cohesively and aligned floc…
Fast Swarming of UAVs in GNSS-denied Feature-poor Environments without Explicit Communication
Jiri Horyna, Vit Kratky, Vaclav Pritzl +3
A decentralized swarm approach for the fast cooperative flight of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in feature-poor environments without any external localization and communication i…
Emergence of specialized Collective Behaviors in Evolving Heterogeneous Swarms
Fuda van Diggelen, Matteo De Carlo, Nicolas Cambier +2
Natural groups of animals, such as swarms of social insects, exhibit astonishing degrees of task specialization, useful to address complex tasks and to survive. This is supported b…
Land & Localize: An Infrastructure-free and Scalable Nano-Drones Swarm with UWB-based Localization
Mahyar Pourjabar, Ahmed AlKatheeri, Manuele Rusci +5
Relative localization is a crucial functional block of any robotic swarm. We address it in a fleet of nano-drones characterized by a 10 cm-scale form factor, which makes them highl…
One-shot Learning for Autonomous Aerial Manipulation
Claudio Zito, Eliseo Ferrante
This paper is concerned with learning transferable contact models for aerial manipulation tasks. We investigate a contact-based approach for enabling unmanned aerial vehicles with…
