Development of a Cost-efficient Autonomous MAV for an Unstructured Indoor Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Performing rescuing and surveillance operations with autonomous ground and aerial vehicles become more and more apparent task. Involving unmanned robot systems allows making these operations more efficient, safe and reliable especially in hazardous areas. This work is devoted to the development of a cost-efficient micro aerial vehicle in a quadrocopter shape for developmental purposes within indoor scenarios. It has been constructed with off-the-shelf components available for mini helicopters. Additional sensors and electronics are incorporated into this aerial vehicle to stabilize its flight behavior and to provide a capability of an autonomous navigation in a partially unstructured indoor environment.

Efficient Global Indoor Localization for Micro Aerial Vehicles
Indoor localization for autonomous micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) requires specific localization techniques, since the Global Positioning System (GPS) is usually not available. We present an efficient onboard computer vision approach that estimates 2D positions of an MAV in real-time. This global localization system does not suffer from error accumulation over time and uses a k-Nearest Neighbors ...
متن کاملOrdering Robotic Navigational Tasks in Household Environment
Autonomous navigation is an essential component of an indoor mobile robot for elderly care. For an interactive user experience the robot should be able to understand multiple navigational tasks and perform them as optimally as possible. User may issue multiple random destinations to the robot to reach in a scenario like finding the elderly person, but to navigate randomly may result in an ineff...
متن کاملVistas and Wall-Floor Intersection Features: Enabling Autonomous Flight in Man-made Environments
We propose a solution toward the problem of autonomous flight and exploration in man-made indoor environments with a micro aerial vehicle (MAV), using a frontal camera, a downward-facing sonar, and an IMU. We present a general method to detect and steer an MAV toward distant features that we call vistas while building a map of the environment to detect unexplored regions. Our method enables aut...

متن کاملStability-based Scale Estimation of Monocular SLAM for Autonomous Quadrotor Navigation
We propose a novel method to deal with the scale ambiguity in monocular SLAM based on control stability. We analytically show that (1) using unscaled state feedback from monocular SLAM for control can lead to system instability, and (2) there is a unique linear relationship between the absolute scale of the SLAM system and the control gain at which instability arises. Using this property, our m...
