For drones, as safety-critical systems, there is an increasing need for onboard detect & avoid (DAA) technology i) to see, sense or detect conflicting traffic or imminent non-cooperative threats due to their high mobility with multiple…

High speed navigation through unknown environments is a challenging problem in robotics. It requires fast computation and tight integration of all the subsystems on the robot such that the latency in the perception-action loop is as small…

The autonomous operation of small quadcopters moving at high speed in an unknown cluttered environment is a challenging task. Current works in the literature formulate it as a Sense-And-Avoid (SAA) problem and address it by either…

Dynamic obstacle avoidance (DOA) for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) requires fast reaction under limited onboard resources. We introduce the distributionally robust acceleration control barrier function (DR-ACBF) as an efficient collision…

Existing intelligent driving technology often has a problem in balancing smooth driving and fast obstacle avoidance, especially when the vehicle is in a non-structural environment, and is prone to instability in emergency situations.…
