Accurate visual localization in dense urban environments poses a fundamental task in photogrammetry, geospatial information science, and robotics. While imagery is a low-cost and widely accessible sensing modality, its effectiveness on…

In this work we consider a multi-robot team operating in an unknown environment where one aerial agent is tasked to map the environment and transmit (a portion of) the mapped environment to a group of ground agents that are trying to reach…

The ability to operate virtually anywhere and carry payload makes Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) perfect platforms to carry communications nodes, including Wi-Fi Access Points (APs) and cellular Base Stations (BSs). This is paving the way…

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based base stations offer a promising solution in emergencies where the rapid deployment of cutting-edge networks is crucial for maximizing life-saving potential. Optimizing the strategic positioning of these…

Drones in many applications need the ability to fly fully or partially autonomously to accomplish their mission. To allow these fully/partially autonomous flights, first, the drone needs to be able to locate itself constantly. Then the…

We propose a novel architecture and training paradigm for training realistic PointGoal Navigation -- navigating to a target coordinate in an unseen environment under actuation and sensor noise without access to ground-truth localization.…

In simultaneous localization and mapping, active loop closing (ALC) is an active vision problem that aims to visually guide a robot to maximize the chances of revisiting previously visited points, thereby resetting the drift errors…

Long-term metric self-localization is an essential capability of autonomous mobile robots, but remains challenging for vision-based systems due to appearance changes caused by lighting, weather, or seasonal variations. While…

Reliable localization is crucial for autonomous robots to navigate efficiently and safely. Some navigation methods can plan paths with high localizability (which describes the capability of acquiring reliable localization). By following…

Classical navigation systems typically operate using a fixed set of hand-picked parameters (e.g. maximum speed, sampling rate, inflation radius, etc.) and require heavy expert re-tuning in order to work in new environments. To mitigate this…

Augmented reality (AR) has gained increasingly attention from both research and industry communities. By overlaying digital information and content onto the physical world, AR enables users to experience the world in a more informative and…

The availability of real-world data is a key element for novel developments in the fields of automotive and traffic research. Aerial imagery has the major advantage of recording multiple objects simultaneously and overcomes limitations such…

Research in the field of autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) has significantly advanced in recent years, mainly due to their relevance in a large variety of commercial, industrial, and military applications. However, UAV navigation…

Autonomous navigation based on precise localization has been widely developed in both academic research and practical applications. The high demand for localization accuracy has been essential for safe robot planing and navigation while it…

In this work, we aim to compare different methods and formulations to solve a problem in air traffic management to global optimality. In particular, we focus on the aircraft deconfliction problem, where we are given n aircraft, their…

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly used as cost-effective and flexible Wi-Fi Access Points (APs) and cellular Base Stations (BSs) to enhance Quality of Service (QoS). In disaster management scenarios, UAV-based networks…

Multi-UAV air combat is a complex task involving multiple autonomous UAVs, an evolving field in both aerospace and artificial intelligence. This paper aims to enhance adversarial performance through collaborative strategies. Previous…

In this paper, we investigate an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted integrated communication and localization network in emergency scenarios where a single UAV is deployed as both an airborne base station (BS) and anchor node to assist…

Where am I? This is one of the most critical questions that any intelligent system should answer to decide whether it navigates to a previously visited area. This problem has long been acknowledged for its challenging nature in simultaneous…

We consider unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted wireless communication employing UAVs as relay nodes to increase the throughput between a pair of transmitter and receiver. We focus on developing effective methods to position the UAV(s)…
