Autonomous Active Mapping in Steep Alpine Environments with Fixed-wing Aerial Vehicles
Jaeyoung Lim, Florian Achermann, Nicholas Lawrance +1
Monitoring large scale environments is a crucial task for managing remote alpine environments, especially for hazardous events such as avalanches. One key information for avalanche…
Energy-Optimized Planning in Non-Uniform Wind Fields with Fixed-Wing Aerial Vehicles
Yufei Duan, Florian Achermann, Jaeyoung Lim +1
Fixed-wing small uncrewed aerial vehicles (sUAVs) possess the capability to remain airborne for extended durations and traverse vast distances. However, their operation is suscepti…
Safe Low-Altitude Navigation in Steep Terrain with Fixed-Wing Aerial Vehicles
Jaeyoung Lim, Florian Achermann, Rik Girod +2
Fixed-wing aerial vehicles provide an efficient way to navigate long distances or cover large areas for environmental monitoring applications. By design, they also require large op…
WindSeer: Real-time volumetric wind prediction over complex terrain aboard a small UAV
Florian Achermann, Thomas Stastny, Bogdan Danciu +4
Real-time high-resolution wind predictions are beneficial for various applications including safe manned and unmanned aviation. Current weather models require too much compute and…
RoBoa: Construction and Evaluation of a Steerable Vine Robot for Search and Rescue Applications
Pascal Auf der Maur, Betim Djambazi, Yves Haberthür +10
RoBoa is a vine-like search and rescue robot that can explore narrow and cluttered environments such as destroyed buildings. The robot assists rescue teams in finding and communica…
Towards Fully Environment-Aware UAVs: Real-Time Path Planning with Online 3D Wind Field Prediction in Complex Terrain
Philipp Oettershagen, Florian Achermann, Benjamin Müller +2
Today, low-altitude fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are largely limited to primitively follow user-defined waypoints. To allow fully-autonomous remote missions in comple…
