Aerial Target Encirclement and Interception with Noisy Range Observations
Fen Liu, Shenghai Yuan, Thien-Minh Nguyen +2
This paper proposes a strategy to encircle and intercept a non-cooperative aerial point-mass moving target by leveraging noisy range measurements for state estimation. In this appr…
Label-Free Long-Horizon 3D UAV Trajectory Prediction via Motion-Aligned RGB and Event Cues
Hanfang Liang, Shenghai Yuan, Fen Liu +5
The widespread use of consumer drones has introduced serious challenges for airspace security and public safety. Their high agility and unpredictable motion make drones difficult t…
Autonomous 3D Moving Target Encirclement and Interception with Range measurement
Fen Liu, Shenghai Yuan, Thien-Minh Nguyen +1
Commercial UAVs are an emerging security threat as they are capable of carrying hazardous payloads or disrupting air traffic. To counter UAVs, we introduce an autonomous 3D target…
Underwater target 6D State Estimation via UUV Attitude Enhance Observability
Fen Liu, Chengfeng Jia, Na Zhang +2
Accurate relative state observation of Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) for tracking uncooperative targets remains a significant challenge due to the absence of GPS, complex und…
Tire Wear Aware Trajectory Tracking Control for Multi-axle Swerve-drive Autonomous Mobile Robots
Tianxin Hu, Xinhang Xu, Thien-Minh Nguyen +3
Multi-axle Swerve-drive Autonomous Mobile Robots (MS-AGVs) equipped with independently steerable wheels are commonly used for high-payload transportation. In this work, we present…
AirSwarm: Enabling Cost-Effective Multi-UAV Research with COTS drones
Xiaowei Li, Kuan Xu, Fen Liu +3
Traditional unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm missions rely heavily on expensive custom-made drones with onboard perception or external positioning systems, limiting their widesp…
