Unmanned Aircraft Systems are about to replace human pilots not only in dangerous, dull or tedious missions but generally where the human being is the limiting factor including size and economic issues. There is a wide range of applications for which UAVs have to be operated in non-segregated airspace in general and uncontrolled airspace in particular, regardless of civil, governmental or milit...

Developing a safe and efficient collision avoidance policy for multiple robots is challenging in the decentralized scenarios where each robot generate its paths without observing other robots’ states and intents. While other distributed multirobot collision avoidance systems exist, they often require extracting agent-level features to plan a local collision-free action, which can be computation...

The effectiveness of an airborne collision avoidance system (CAS) is influenced by the manner in which pilots respond to the system’s advisories. Current pilot response models used in CAS modeling and simulation are agnostic to parameters affecting pilot response in individual encounters and therefore treat all encounters equally. Simulations using these models can potentially underestimate col...

Aircraft collision avoidance maneuvers are important and complex applications. Curved flight exhibits nontrivial continuous behavior. In combination with the control choices during air traffic maneuvers, this yields hybrid systems with challenging interactions of discrete and continuous dynamics. As a case study illustrating the use of a new proof assistant for a logic for nonlinear hybrid syst...

Although robotic coverage and collision avoidance are active areas of robotics research, the avoidance of collision situations between robots has often been neglected in the context of multi-robot coverage tasks. In fact, for robots of physical size, collisions are likely to happen during deployment and coverage in densely packed multi-robot configurations. For this reason, we aim to motivate b...

Over the past years, the field of small unmanned aerial vehicles has grown significantly and several applications have appeared, requiring always more autonomous flight. An important remaining challenge for fully autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles is collision avoidance between aircraft. In this work, we will compare two collision avoidance algorithms in terms of performance and robustness to ...

Automotive collision avoidance systems help the driver to avoid or mitigate a collision. The main objective of this project is to find a methodology to improve the performance of Volvo’s automotive collision avoidance system by optimizing its configurable parameters. It is important that the parameter setting is chosen in such a way that the automotive collision avoidance system is not too sens...
