Tethered Aerial Visual Assistance
Xuesu Xiao, Jan Dufek, Robin R. Murphy
In this paper, an autonomous tethered Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is developed into a visual assistant in a marsupial co-robots team, collaborating with a tele-operated Unmanned…
Explicit Motion Risk Representation
Xuesu Xiao, Jan Dufek, Robin Murphy
This paper presents a formal definition and explicit representation of robot motion risk. Currently, robot motion risk has not been formally defined, but has already been used in m…
Benchmarking Tether-based UAV Motion Primitives
Xuesu Xiao, Jan Dufek, Robin Murphy
This paper proposes and benchmarks two tether-based motion primitives for tethered UAVs to execute autonomous flight with proprioception only. Tethered UAVs have been studied mainl…
Explicit-risk-aware Path Planning with Reward Maximization
Xuesu Xiao, Jan Dufek, Robin Murphy
This paper develops a path planner that minimizes risk (e.g. motion execution) while maximizing accumulated reward (e.g., quality of sensor viewpoint) motivated by visual assistanc…
