Autonomous Indoors Navigation using a Small-Size Quadrotor

چکیده
Recently there has been increasing research on the development of autonomous flying vehicles. Whereas most of the proposed approaches are suitable for outdoor operation, only a few techniques have been designed for indoor environments. In this paper we present a navigation system for an indoor quadrotor. Our system adapt techniques which have been successfully applied on ground robots to our flying platform. We validate our system with real-world experiments.

Autonomous Flight of a Quadrotor Using Multi-Camera Visual SLAM
This paper presents the development and validation of a vision-based navigation and control system for a small unmanned quadrotor. The core of this system is a state estimator based on the so-called multi-camera parallel tracking and mapping algorithm, which provides accurate pose estimation for the quadrotor using multiple cameras. Built on cascaded proportional-integral-derivative control loo...
متن کاملPerception and Navigation for an Autonomous quadrotor in GPS-denied Environments
Robots need autonomous navigation to complete their tasks efficiently. This becomes more challenging in GPS-denied environments where positioning information is not available. For small flying robots and quadrotors, inherent limitations such as limited sensor payload and small system time-constant add another layer of challenge to the problem. This paper presents a solution for autonomous navig...
متن کاملA quadrotor platform for bio-inspired navigation experiments
Due to developments driven mostly by the demands of the mobile communication industry and preparatory work by model aircraft flyers, it is possible to construct different sorts of electrically powered flying robots that can carry an interesting amount of payload in sensors and computers. We are interested in realising autonomous navigation capabilities on real flying robots which should suffice...
متن کاملHigh-Speed Autonomous Quadrotor Navigation through Image Paths
This paper addresses the problem of autonomous quadrotor navigation within indoor spaces. In particular, we focus on the case where a visual map of the area, represented as a graph of linked images, is constructed offline (from visual and inertial data collected beforehand) and used to determine visual paths for the quadrotor to follow. Moreover, during the actual navigation, the quadrotor empl...
متن کاملVisual-Inertial Navigation for a Camera-Equipped 25 g Nano-Quadrotor
We present a 25 g nano-quadrotor equipped with a micro PAL-camera and wireless video transmitter, with which we demonstrate autonomous hovering and figure flying using a visual-inertial SLAM system running on a ground-based laptop. To our knowledge this is the lightest quadrotor capable of visual-inertial navigation with off-board processing. Further we show autonomous flight with external pose...
