Book Synopsis SmokeNav - Simultaneous Localization and Mapping in Reduced Visibility Scenarios by : João Pedro Machado dos Santos
Download or read book SmokeNav - Simultaneous Localization and Mapping in Reduced Visibility Scenarios written by João Pedro Machado dos Santos. This book was released on 2013-09-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is one of the most widely researched topics in Robotics. It addresses building and maintaining maps within unknown environments, while the robot keeps the information about its location. It is a basic requirement for autonomous mobile robotic navigation in many scenarios, including military applications, search and rescue, environmental monitoring, etc. Although SLAM techniques have evolved considerably in the last years, there are many situations which are not easily handled, such as the case of smoky environments where commonly used range sensors for SLAM, like Laser Range Finders (LRF) and cameras, are highly disturbed by noise induced in the measurement process by particles of smoke. There is an evident lack of solutions to this issue in the literature. This work focuses on SLAM techniques for reduced visibility scenarios. The main objective of this work is to develop and validate a SLAM technique for those scenarios, using dissimilar range sensors and by evaluating their behavior in such conditions. To that end, a study of several laser-based 2D SLAM techniques available in Robot Operating System (ROS) is firstly conducted. All the tested approaches are evaluated and compared in 2D simulations as well as real world experiments using a mobile robot. Such analysis is fundamental to decide which technique to adopt according to the final application of the work. The developed technique uses the complementary characteristics between a LRF and an array of sonars in order to successfully map the aforementioned environments. In order to validate the developed technique , several experimental tests were conducted using a real scenario. It was verified that this approach is adequate to decrease the impact of smoke particles in the mapping task. However, due to hardware limitations, the resulting map is comprehensibly not outstanding, but much better than using a single range sensor modality. This work is part of the Cooperation between Human and rObotic teams in catastroPhic INcidents (CHOPIN) R&D project, which intends to develop a support system for small scale SaR missions in urban catastrophic scenarios by exploiting the human-robot symbiosis.

Book Synopsis Design of Unmanned Aerial Systems by : Mohammad H. Sadraey
Download or read book Design of Unmanned Aerial Systems written by Mohammad H. Sadraey. This book was released on 2020-04-13. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides a comprehensive introduction to the design and analysis of unmanned aircraft systems with a systems perspective Written for students and engineers who are new to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle design, this book teaches the many UAV design techniques being used today and demonstrates how to apply aeronautical science concepts to their design. Design of Unmanned Aerial Systems covers the design of UAVs in three sections—vehicle design, autopilot design, and ground systems design—in a way that allows readers to fully comprehend the science behind the subject so that they can then demonstrate creativity in the application of these concepts on their own. It teaches students and engineers all about: UAV classifications, design groups, design requirements, mission planning, conceptual design, detail design, and design procedures. It provides them with in-depth knowledge of ground stations, power systems, propulsion systems, automatic flight control systems, guidance systems, navigation systems, and launch and recovery systems. Students will also learn about payloads, manufacturing considerations, design challenges, flight software, microcontroller, and design examples. In addition, the book places major emphasis on the automatic flight control systems and autopilots. Provides design steps and procedures for each major component Presents several fully solved, step-by-step examples at component level Includes numerous UAV figures/images to emphasize the application of the concepts Describes real stories that stress the significance of safety in UAV design Offers various UAV configurations, geometries, and weight data to demonstrate the real-world applications and examples Covers a variety of design techniques/processes such that the designer has freedom and flexibility to satisfy the design requirements in several ways Features many end-of-chapter problems for readers to practice Design of Unmanned Aerial Systems is an excellent text for courses in the design of unmanned aerial vehicles at both the upper division undergraduate and beginning graduate levels.

Book Synopsis ROBOT2022: Fifth Iberian Robotics Conference by : Danilo Tardioli
Download or read book ROBOT2022: Fifth Iberian Robotics Conference written by Danilo Tardioli. This book was released on 2022-11-18. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a selection of papers accepted for presentation and discussion at ROBOT 2022—Fifth Iberian Robotics Conference, held in Zaragoza, Spain, on November 23-25, 2022. ROBOT 2022 is part of a series of conferences that are a joint organization of SEIDROB—Sociedad Española para la Investigación y Desarrollo en Robótica/Spanish Society for Research and Development in Robotics, and SPR—Sociedade Portuguesa de Robótica/Portuguese Society for Robotic. ROBOT 2022 builds upon several previous successful events, including three biennial workshops and the four previous editions of the Iberian Robotics Conference, and is focused on presenting the research and development of new applications, on the field of Robotics, in the Iberian Peninsula, although open to research and delegates from other countries. ROBOT 2022 featured four plenary talks on state-of-the-art subjects on robotics and 15 special sessions, plus a main/general robotics track. In total, after a careful review process, 98 high-quality papers were selected for publication, with a total of 219 unique authors, from 22 countries.
