Layered Mission and Path Planning for MAV Navigation with Partial Environment Knowledge
نویسندگان
چکیده
Successful operation of micro aerial vehicles in partially known environments requires globally consistent plans based on incomplete environment models and quick reactions to unknown obstacles by means of real-time planning of collision-free trajectories. In this paper, we propose a complete layered mission and navigation planning system based on coarse prior knowledge and local maps from omnidirectional onboard obstacle perception. We generate trajectories in a multi-layered approach: from mission planning to global and local trajectory planning to motion control.

Hierarchical Planning with 3D Local Multiresolution Obstacle Avoidance for Micro Aerial Vehicles
Micro aerial vehicles (MAVs), such as multicopters, are particular well suited for the inspection of human-built structures, e. g., for maintenance or disaster management. Today, the operation of MAVs in the close vicinity of these structures requires a human operator to remotely control the vehicle. For fully autonomous operation, a detailed model of the environment is essential. Building such...
متن کاملLayered Knowledge Architecture For Navigation-Oriented Environment Representation
This paper describes a layered architecture representing knowledge to be used for navigation in environments where distinctive places are present. Each knowledge layer defines an abstraction of the environment aimed at efficiently supporting the execution of specific navigation tasks. Layers are structured in a taxonomy, each layer being derived from another by applying one of the three abstrac...

Micro aerial vehicles, such as multirotors, are particular well suited for the autonomous monitoring, inspection, and surveillance of buildings, e.g., for maintenance in industrial plants. Key prerequisites for the fully autonomous operation of micro aerial vehicles in restricted environments are 3D mapping, real-time pose tracking, obstacle detection, and planning of collision-free trajectorie...
متن کاملMission-Integrated Path Planning for Planetary Rover Exploration
This paper presents a mission planning method for planetary rover. As a decision support system, mission planning is important for rover navigation and control. Generating travel path and task sequence synchronously is the key point. In this paper, the environment model of planetary surface is summed up as two parts which are obstacle map and timeline. According to this, the mission planner uti...
متن کاملThe Medial Axis of a Multi-Layered Environment and its Application as a Navigation Mesh
Path planning for walking characters in complicated virtual environments is a fundamental task in simulations and games. A navigation mesh is a data structure that allows efficient path planning. The Explicit Corridor Map (ECM) is a navigation mesh based on the medial axis. It enables path planning for disk-shaped characters of any radius. In this paper, we formally extend the medial axis (and ...
