This paper describes the design, development, and testing of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with automated capabilities: searching a prescribed area, identifying a specific building within that area based on a small ...

Many onboard navigation systems use the Global Positioning System to bound the errors that result from integrating inertial sensors over time. Global Positioning System information, however, is not always accessible since ...

This paper describes the design, development, and testing of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) with highly automated search capabilities. Here, systems are able to respond on their own in the presence of considerable uncertainty ...

Building aircraft with navigation and control systems that can complete flight tasks is complex, and often involves integrating information from multiple sensors to estimate the state of the vehicle. This paper describes ...

The Georgia Tech aerial robotics team has developed a system to compete in the International Aerial Robotics Competition, organized by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems, International. The team is a multi-disciplinary ...
