Lévy Flight Foraging Hypothesis-based Autonomous Memoryless Search Under Sparse Rewards
Christos Papachristos, Kostas Alexis
Autonomous robots are commonly tasked with the problem of area exploration and search for certain targets or artifacts of interest to be tracked. Traditionally, the problem formula…
Design and Control of an Aerial Manipulator for Contact-based Inspection
Varun Nayak, Christos Papachristos, Kostas Alexis
Manipulator dynamics, external forces and moments raise issues in stability and efficient control during aerial manipulation. Additionally, multirotor Micro Aerial Vehicles impose…
Visual-Inertial Odometry-enhanced Geometrically Stable ICP for Mapping Applications using Aerial Robots
Tung Dang, Shehryar Khattak, Christos Papachristos +1
This paper presents a visual-inertial odometry-enhanced geometrically stable Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm for accurate mapping using aerial robots. The proposed method e…
