چکیده

This paper presents an approach for defining Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) missions on a high level. Current methods for UAV mission specification are evaluated and their deficiencies are analyzed. From these findings, a new graphical specification language for UAV missions is proposed, which is targeted towards typical UAV users from various domains rather than computer science experts. The research is ongoing, but a first prototype is presented.

Quadrotor-based DT-WSNs for Disaster Recovery

How to establish a communication infrastructure when there is no infrastructure at all? After an occurred disaster there is a high demand for functional and working communication. In this paper we propose flying and self-deploying Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) to establish disruption tolerant multihop communication for disaster recovery and search-and-rescue missions. We also show the impleme...

Graphical Mission Specification and Partitioning for Unmanned Underwater Vehicles

The use of Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) has been proposed for several different types of applications including hydrographic surveys (e.g., mapping the ocean floor and exploring sunken wreckage), mine detection and identification, law enforcement (e.g., enforcing certain fishing regulations), environmental and pollution monitoring, and even performing surveys to find potential drilling l...

Design and implementation of a vision-based hovering and feature tracking algorithm for a quadrotor

This paper demonstrates an approach to the vision-based control of the unmanned quadrotors for hover and object tracking. The algorithms used the Speed Up Robust Features (SURF) algorithm to detect objects. The pose of the object in the image was then calculated in order to pass the pose information to the flight controller. Finally, the flight controller steered the quadrotor to approach the o...

Cockpit Design for First Person View Flight for a Remotely Operated Quadrotor Helicopter

Recently, technological advances have been focused on the cockpit of modern unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in order to reduce pilot requirements and workload to operate them. First person view (FPV) flight represents a key point when UAVs perform tasks beyond the line of sight. This paper presents the design and implementation of a cockpit for a remotely operated quadrotor. We have developed a...

Demo abstract: R.A.V.E.N. - Remote autonomous vehicle explorer network

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have recently become a viable platform for surveillance and exploration tasks. Several commercial quadrotor aircraft have been successfully used as surveillance equipment with groups such as United States and Canadian police forces, and additional applications for this technology could include exploration of ra-dioactive/hazmat environments, naval search and resc...
