Continuum robots, which often rely on interdisciplinary and multimedia collaborations, have been increasingly recognized for their potential to revolutionize the field of human-computer interaction (HCI) in varied applications due to their…

This article addresses the visual area coverage problem using a team of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The UAVs are assumed to be equipped with a downward facing camera covering all points of interest within a circle on the ground. The…

While autonomous multi-robots can achieve safe and coordinated navigation, they often struggle to adapt to unforeseen conditions and to capture operator-driven objectives in unstructured environments. We present a Virtual Reality (VR)-based…

Controllable generative models for images and videos have seen significant success, yet 3D scene generation, especially in unbounded scenarios like autonomous driving, remains underdeveloped. Existing methods lack flexible controllability…

Autonomous drone racing requires the tight coupling of perception, planning, and control under extreme agility. However, recent approaches typically rely on precomputed spatial reference trajectories or explicit 6-DoF gate pose estimation,…

Specifying nuanced and compelling camera motion remains a significant hurdle for non-expert creators using generative tools, creating an "expressive gap" where generic text prompts fail to capture cinematic vision. This barrier limits…

Computational Video Editing Systems output video generally follows a particular form, e.g. conversation or music videos, in this way they are domain specific. We describe a recent development in our video annotation and segmentation system…

Currently, unmanned aerial vehicles, such as drones, are becoming a part of our lives and reaching out to many areas of society, including the industrialized world. A common alternative to control the movements and actions of the drone is…

Scene reconstruction and novel-view synthesis for large, complex, multi-story, indoor scenes is a challenging and time-consuming task. Prior methods have utilized drones for data capture and radiance fields for scene reconstruction, both of…

Despite significant progress, the deployment of UAV technology in commercial and civil applications is still lagging. This is essentially due to the risks associated with drone flights and the lack of coordinated technologies that would…

The growing ubiquity of drones has raised concerns over the ability of traditional air-space monitoring technologies to accurately characterise such vehicles. Here, we present a CNN using a decision tree and ensemble structure to fully…

Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) is a fundamental problem in robotics and AI, with numerous applications in real-world scenarios. One such scenario is filming scenes with multiple actors, where the goal is to capture the scene from multiple…

This paper presents a method that allows users to design cinematic video shots in the context of image-to-video generation. Shot design, a critical aspect of filmmaking, involves meticulously planning both camera movements and object…

This paper presents a trajectory-tracking controller for multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in scenarios where only the desired position and heading are known without the higher-order derivatives. The proposed solution modifies the…

Drones or UAVs, equipped with different sensors, have been deployed in many places especially for urban traffic monitoring or last-mile delivery. It provides the ability to control the different aspects of traffic given real-time…

Scene transfer for vision-based mobile robotics applications is a highly relevant and challenging problem. The utility of a robot greatly depends on its ability to perform a task in the real world, outside of a well-controlled lab…

This paper considers a collaborative tracking control problem using a group of fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with constant and non-identical speeds. The dynamics of fixed-wing UAVs are modelled by unicycle-type equations with…

We introduce an autonomous attack recovery architecture to add common sense reasoning to plan a recovery action after an attack is detected. We outline use-cases of our architecture using drones, and then discuss how to implement this…

Scene-consistent video generation aims to create videos that explore 3D scenes based on a camera trajectory. Previous methods rely on video generation models with external memory for consistency, or iterative 3D reconstruction and…

More and more off-the-shelf drones provide frameworks that enable the programming of flight paths. These frameworks provide vendor-dependent programming and communication interfaces that are intended for flight path definitions. However,…
