چکیده
This paper introduces our robotic system named UGAV (Unmanned Ground-Air Vehicle) consisting of two semi-autonomous robot platforms, an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) and an Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). The paper focuses on three topics of the inspection with the combined UGV and UAV: (A) teleoperated control by means of cell or smart phones with a new concept of automatic configuration of the smart phone based on a RKIXML description of the vehicles control capabilities, (B) the camera and vision system with the focus to real time feature extraction e.g. for the tracking of the UAV and (C) the architecture and hardware of the UAV.

متن کاملVision Based Tracking for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
This project aims at a system for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) following moving targets on ground. The UAV has physical constraints on airspeed and maneuverability. The target however can move freely and in any general pattern. We assume minimum knowledge about the target while navigating the aircraft. The system includes visual tracking of the target with a camera mounted on the UAV. The c...
متن کاملMassive MIMO for Drone Communications: Applications, Case Studies and Future Directions
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, are proliferating. Several applications, such as surveillance, disaster management, and drone racing, place high requirements on the communication with the drones – in terms of throughout, reliability, 3D connectivity, and latency. Existing wireless technologies, notably WiFi, that are currently used for drone communications are limited to short range...

The UGV/Demo II program was established to develop and mature, within 5 years, the navigation and automatic target recognition technologies critical for minimally supervised, semi-autonomous, unmanned ground vehicles for military scout missions. The program, initiated in 1992, focuses on and exploits the arti cial intelligence, computer vision, and advanced processor development sponsored under...
متن کاملUnhackable Drones: the Challenges of Securely Integrating Unmanned Aircraft into the National Airspace
On August 2, 2010, a Navy helicopter entered the highly restricted airspace above Washington, D.C. without permission [1]. The event might have passed as unremarkable but for the fact that no-one was piloting the helicopter: as an unmanned aircraft, it carried no humans onboard, and—somehow—the vital communications link to its ground operators had been lost. The 1,429-kilogram MQ-8B Fire Scout ...
