Autonomous Flight Experiment with a Robotic Unmanned Airship
Project AURORA aims at the development of an unmanned airship capable of autonomous flight over user-defined locations for aerial inspection and imagery acquisition. In this article the authors report a successful autonomous flight achieved through a set of pre-defined points, one of the first of its kind in the literature. The guidance control strategy is based on a path tracking error generat...
متن کاملRobotic Airships for Exploration of Planetary Bodies with an Atmosphere: Autonomy Challenges
Robotic unmanned aerial vehicles have great potential as surveying and instrument deployment platforms in the exploration of planets and moons with an atmosphere. Among the various types of planetary aerovehicles proposed, lighter-than-atmosphere (LTA) systems are of particular interest because of their extended mission duration and long traverse capabilities. In this paper, we argue that the u...
متن کاملDevelopment of a VRML/Java unmanned airship simulating environment
We present in this paper one of the first Internetaccessible airship simulators, based on a comprehensive airship dynamic model. The simulator is meant to be used as a tool for the development of control and navigation methods for autonomous and semiautonomous robotic airships and as testbed for airship pilot training. Realistic views of both the airship in flight and that of a virtual pilot ar...
متن کاملExperimental and Numerical Study of the Effect of Lateral Wind on the Feeder Airship
Feeder is one of the airships of the Multibody Advanced Airship for Transport (MAAT) system, under development within the EU FP7 project. MAAT is based on a modular concept composed of two different parts that have the possibility to join; respectively they are the so-called Cruiser and Feeder, designed on the lighter than air principle. Feeder, also named ATEN (Airship Transport Elevator Netwo...
متن کاملTesting Space Robotics on the Japanese ETS-VII Satellite
Introduction ETS-VII (Engineering Test Satellite VII) is a NASDA programme designed to test key rendezvous, docking and robotics technologies in space. The Japanese space agency has built, launched and operates this test satellite, equipped with a robotic manipulator and a small subsatellite, to carry out such experiments. In response to a NASDA call for co-operation, ESA proposed two experimen...
