A Multi-Sensor Fusion MAV State Estimation from Long-Range Stereo, IMU, GPS and Barometric Sensors

State estimation is the most critical capability for MAV (Micro-Aerial Vehicle) localization, autonomous obstacle avoidance, robust flight control and 3D environmental mapping. There are three main challenges for MAV state estimation: (1) it can deal with aggressive 6 DOF (Degree Of Freedom) motion; (2) it should be robust to intermittent GPS (Global Positioning System) (even GPS-denied) situat...

A New Fault Tolerant Nonlinear Model Predictive Controller Incorporating an UKF-Based Centralized Measurement Fusion Scheme

A new Fault Tolerant Controller (FTC) has been presented in this research by integrating a Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) mechanism in a nonlinear model predictive controller framework. The proposed FDD utilizes a Multi-Sensor Data Fusion (MSDF) methodology to enhance its reliability and estimation accuracy. An augmented state-vector model is developed to incorporate the occurred senso...

Robust state estimation in power systems using pre-filtering measurement data

State estimation is the foundation of any control and decision making in power networks. The first requirement for a secure network is a precise and safe state estimator in order to make decisions based on accurate knowledge of the network status. This paper introduces a new estimator which is able to detect bad data with few calculations without need for repetitions and estimation residual cal...

A Two-Phase Robust Estimation of Process Dispersion Using M-estimator

Parameter estimation is the first step in constructing any control chart. Most estimators of mean and dispersion are sensitive to the presence of outliers. The data may be contaminated by outliers either locally or globally. The exciting robust estimators deal only with global contamination. In this paper a robust estimator for dispersion is proposed to reduce the effect of local contamination ...

Vision-based MAV Navigation: Implementation Challenges Towards a Usable System in Real-Life Scenarios

In this workshop, we share our experience on autonomous flights with a MAV using a monocular camera as the only exteroceptive sensor. We developed a flexible and modular framework for realtime onboard MAV navigation fusing visual data with IMU at a rate of 1 kHz. We aim to provide a detailed insight of how our modules work and how they are used in our system. Using this framework, we achieved u...
