Very Long Endurance Propulsion Systems
All-Electric power and propulsion system architectures have been investigated in order to demonstrate the feasibility of such an approach to increase the endurance of a high altitude long endurance UAV to a target mission duration of 1 week. System modelling studies demonstrate the possibility of utilising combined fuel cell and photo-voltaic systems as power sources for an electric distributio...
متن کاملVision-based MAV Navigation: Implementation Challenges Towards a Usable System in Real-Life Scenarios
In this workshop, we share our experience on autonomous flights with a MAV using a monocular camera as the only exteroceptive sensor. We developed a flexible and modular framework for realtime onboard MAV navigation fusing visual data with IMU at a rate of 1 kHz. We aim to provide a detailed insight of how our modules work and how they are used in our system. Using this framework, we achieved u...
متن کاملAutonomous 3D Reconstruction Using a MAV
An approach is proposed for high resolution 3D reconstruction of an object using a Micro Air Vehicle (MAV). A system is described which autonomously captures images and performs a dense 3D reconstruction via structure from motion with no prior knowledge of the environment. Only the MAV’s own sensors, the front facing camera and the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) are utilized. Precision agricul...
متن کاملA Multi-Sensor Fusion MAV State Estimation from Long-Range Stereo, IMU, GPS and Barometric Sensors
State estimation is the most critical capability for MAV (Micro-Aerial Vehicle) localization, autonomous obstacle avoidance, robust flight control and 3D environmental mapping. There are three main challenges for MAV state estimation: (1) it can deal with aggressive 6 DOF (Degree Of Freedom) motion; (2) it should be robust to intermittent GPS (Global Positioning System) (even GPS-denied) situat...
متن کاملAutonomous Flight of a Samara MAV
Conventionally Micro/Nano scaled hovering flight presents a myriad of challenges and unique design opportunities. The culmination of microelectronics and state of the art measuring devices has enabled the creation of a Micro-air-vehicle (MAV 1 ) resembling one of nature’s most efficient fliers, the seed of the Maple tree. The planform design of the VTOL mechanical samara is based on previous wo...
