Adaptive Monitoring of Stochastic Fire Front Processes via Information-seeking Predictive Control
Savvas Papaioannou, Panayiotis Kolios, Christos G. Panayiotou +1
We consider the problem of adaptively monitoring a wildfire front using a mobile agent (e.g., a drone), whose trajectory determines where sensor data is collected and thus influenc…
Jointly-optimized Trajectory Generation and Camera Control for 3D Coverage Planning
Savvas Papaioannou, Panayiotis Kolios, Theocharis Theocharides +2
This work proposes a jointly optimized trajectory generation and camera control approach, enabling an autonomous agent, such as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operating in 3D env…
Rolling Horizon Coverage Control with Collaborative Autonomous Agents
Savvas Papaioannou, Panayiotis Kolios, Theocharis Theocharides +2
This work proposes a coverage controller that enables an aerial team of distributed autonomous agents to collaboratively generate non-myopic coverage plans over a rolling finite ho…
Cooperative Aerial Robot Inspection Challenge: A Benchmark for Heterogeneous Multi-UAV Planning and Lessons Learned
Muqing Cao, Thien-Minh Nguyen, Shenghai Yuan +12
We propose the Cooperative Aerial Robot Inspection Challenge (CARIC), a simulation-based benchmark for motion planning algorithms in heterogeneous multi-UAV systems. CARIC features…
Automated Real-Time Inspection in Indoor and Outdoor 3D Environments with Cooperative Aerial Robots
Andreas Anastasiou, Angelos Zacharia, Savvas Papaioannou +3
This work introduces a cooperative inspection system designed to efficiently control and coordinate a team of distributed heterogeneous UAV agents for the inspection of 3D structur…
