Executive Decision Support: Single-Agent Control of Multiple UAVs
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-05)
One challenge facing coordination and deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) today is the amount of human involvement needed to carry out a successful mission. Currently, control and coordination of UAVs typically ...
Indoor Navigation for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-08)
The ability for vehicles to navigate unknown environments is critical for autonomous
operation. Mapping of a vehicle's environment and self-localization within that environment are especially difficult for an Unmanned ...
A Compact Guidance, Navigation, and Control System for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006-05)
The Flight Control System 20 (FCS20) is a compact, self-contained Guidance, Navigation,
and Control system that has recently been developed to enable advanced autonomous
behavior in a wide range of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles ...
Optimal Multi-UAV Convoy Protection
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-04)
In this paper, we study time-optimal trajectories
for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to provide convoy protection
to a group of stationary ground vehicles. The UAVs
are modelled as Dubins vehicles flying at a constant ...
3D Obstacle Avoidance in Adversarial Environments for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006-08)
As unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are considered for a wider variety of military and
commercial applications, the ability to navigate autonomously in unknown and hazardous
environments is increasingly vital to the ...
Modelling and Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation for a Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-05)
Modeling and experimental identification results for a small unmanned aerial vehicle
(UAV) are presented. The numerical values of the aerodynamic derivatives are computed
via the Digital DATCOM software using the geometric ...
Inertial Attitude and Position Reference System Development for a Small UAV
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-05)
This article presents an inexpensive inertial attitude and position reference system for a
small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that utilizes low cost inertial sensors in conjunction
with a global positioning system (GPS) ...
Design and Development of a Low-Cost Test-Bed for Undergraduate Education in UAVs
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2005)
This article describes the efforts undertaken at
the School of Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute
of Technology for the development of a low-cost Unmanned
Aerial Vehicle (UAV) test-bed for educational purposes. ...
Visual Marker Detection In The Presence Of Colored Noise for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-04)
This paper develops a vision-based algorithm to detect a visual marker in real time and
in the presence of excessive colored noise for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. After using various
image analysis techniques, including ...
Guidance, Navigation, Control, and Operator Interfaces for Small Rapid Response Unmanned Helicopters
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-04)
This paper focuses on the development of small rapid response reconnaissance unmanned
helicopters (1 to 3 kg, electric), for use by the military in urban areas and by civilian first
responders, in terms of system ...
