Obstacle Detection and Collision Avoidance Using Ultrasonic Distance Sensors for an Autonomous Quadrocopter
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple approach for obstacle detection and collision avoidance of an autonomous flying quadrocopter using low-cost ultrasonic sensors and simple data fusion is presented here. The approach has been implemented and tested in a self-developed quadrocopter (Figure 1) and its evaluation shows the general realizability as well as the drawbacks of this approach. The presented approach is intended to be used as part of the AQopterI8 project at the department of Aerospace Information Technology (University of Würzburg), which aims to develop an autonomous flying quadrocopter for indoor application.

Knight Sweeper 4200 Autonomous Metal Detecting Robot
This document discusses the design of our Knight Sweeper vehicle. Knight Sweeper is an autonomous vehicle designed to detect any metallic objects and avoid obstacles during its route of navigation. Once detection occurs the vehicle is designed to identify region of detection and avoid collision with the actual metallic object or obstacle in its way. Knight Sweeper will be able to operate in a m...
متن کاملImplementation of Obstacle-Avoidance Control for an Autonomous Omni-Directional Mobile Robot Based on Extension Theory
The paper demonstrates a following robot with omni-directional wheels, which is able to take action to avoid obstacles. The robot design is based on both fuzzy and extension theory. Fuzzy theory was applied to tune the PMW signal of the motor revolution, and correct path deviation issues encountered when the robot is moving. Extension theory was used to build a robot obstacle-avoidance model. V...

A mobile robot system, capable of performing various tasks for the physically disabled, has been developed. To avoid collision with unexpected obstacles, the mobile robot uses ultrasonic range finders for detection and mapping. The obstacle avoidance strategy used for this robot is described. Since this strategy depends heavily on the performance of the ultrasonic range finders, these sensors a...

This paper presents a force field concept for guiding a vehicle at a high speed maneuver. This method is similar to potential field method. In this paper, motion constrains like vehicles velocity, distance to obstacle and tire conditions and such lane change conditions as zero slop condition and zero lateral acceleration are discussed. After that, possible equations as vehicles path ar...
متن کاملMultilayered Mapping and Navigation for Autonomous Micro Aerial Vehicles
Micro aerial vehicles, such as multirotors, are particularly well suited for the autonomous monitoring, inspection, and surveillance of buildings, e.g., for maintenance or disaster management. Key prerequisites for the fully autonomous operation of micro aerial vehicles are real-time obstacle detection and planning of collision-free trajectories. In this article, we propose a complete system wi...
