متن کاملCooperative Flight Guidance of Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
As robotic platforms and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) increase in sophistication and complexity, the ability to determine the spatial orientation and placement of the platform in real time (localization) becomes an important issue. Detecting and extracting locations of objects, barriers, and openings is required to ensure the overall effectiveness of the device. Current methods to achieve lo...
متن کاملDecentralized Control of Unmanned Aerial Robots for Wireless Airborne Communication Networks
This paper presents a cooperative control strategy for a team of aerial robotic vehicles to establish wireless airborne communication networks between distributed heterogeneous vehicles. Each aerial robot serves as a flying mobile sensor performing a reconfigurable communication relay node which enabls communication networks with static or slow-moving nodes on gorund or ocean. For distributed o...
متن کاملAsynchronous Decentralized Algorithm for Space-Time Cooperative Pathfinding
Cooperative pathfinding is a multi-agent path planning problem where a group of vehicles searches for a corresponding set of non-conflicting space-time trajectories. Many of the practical methods for centralized solving of cooperative pathfinding problems are based on the prioritized planning strategy. However, in some domains (e.g., multi-robot teams of unmanned aerial vehicles, autonomous und...
متن کاملAutonomous Navigation of Unmanned Vehicles: A Fuzzy Logic Perspective
Unmanned robotic vehicles are capable of performing desired tasks in unstructured, uncertain and potentially hostile environments. They may be remotely-operated or function (semi-) autonomously without human intervention. However, it will long before unmanned robot vehicles function as completely autonomous entities in diverse environments. Current unmanned vehicles adhere to different levels o...
