Agile and Resilient Autonomous Flight
Giuseppe Loianno · 2020
Summary form only given, as follows. The complete presentation was not made available for publication as part of the conference proceedings. Flying robots, often called drones, are starting to play a major role in several tasks such as search and rescue, interaction with the environment, inspection, patrolling and monitoring. Agile and resilient navigation of Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) through unknown environments poses a number of challenges in terms of perception, state estimation, planning, and control. To achieve this, MAVs have to localize themselves and coordinate between each other in unstructured environments. In this talk, I will present some recent research results agile and resilient navigation of aerial robots for search and rescue, exploration, transportation, physical environment interaction, and human drone collaboration using a minimal on-board sensor suite composed by an IMU and camera sensors information.
