In this paper we study the distance-based docking problem of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by using a single landmark placed at an arbitrarily unknown position. To solve the problem, we propose an integrated estimation-control scheme to…

This paper presents a sound source localization strategy that relies on a microphone array embedded in an unmanned ground vehicle and an asynchronous close-talking microphone near the operator. A signal coarse alignment strategy is combined…

In this work, we argue that current state-of-the-art methods of aircraft localization such as multilateration are insufficient, in particular for modern crowdsourced air traffic networks with random, unplanned deployment geometry. We…

Multi-rotor aerial autonomous vehicles (MAVs) primarily rely on vision for navigation purposes. However, visual localization and odometry techniques suffer from poor performance in low or direct sunlight, a limited field of view, and…

This paper presents a novel control method for a group of UAVs in obstacle-laden environments while preserving sensing network connectivity without data transmission between the UAVs. By leveraging constraints rooted in control barrier…

Image retrieval has been employed as a robust complementary technique to address the challenge of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) self-positioning. However, most existing methods primarily focus on localizing objects captured by UAVs…

This paper improves visual-inertial systems to boost the localization accuracy for low-cost rescue robots. When robots traverse on rugged terrain, the performance of pose estimation suffers from big noise on the measurements of the inertial…

Robotic mapping is attractive in many scientific applications that involve environmental surveys. This paper presents a system for localization and mapping of sparsely distributed surface features such as precariously balanced rocks (PBRs),…

One of the most critical applications undertaken by coalitions of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) is reaching predefined targets by following the most time-efficient routes while avoiding collisions.…

This paper mainly studies the localization and mapping of range sensing robots in the confidence-rich map (CRM) and then extends it to provide a full state estimate for information-theoretic exploration. Most previous works about active…

Sensing-assisted predictive beamforming, as one of the enabling technologies for emerging integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) paradigm, shows significant promise for enhancing various future unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)…

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm has emerged as a promising novel paradigm to achieve better coverage and higher capacity for future wireless network by exploiting the more favorable line-of-sight (LoS) propagation. To reap the potential…

Autonomous aerial robots provide new possibilities to study the habitats and behaviors of endangered species through the efficient gathering of location information at temporal and spatial granularities not possible with traditional manual…

Undocumented orphaned wells pose significant health and environmental risks to nearby communities by releasing toxic gases and contaminating water sources, with methane emissions being a primary concern. Traditional survey methods such as…

Regression-based LiDAR relocalization has recently emerged as a promising solution for high-precision positioning in GNSS-denied environments. However, these methods are primarily tailored to autonomous driving, exhibiting significantly…

This paper presents a novel approach for localising a GPS (Global Positioning System)-denied Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with the aid of a GPS-equipped UAV in three-dimensional space. The GPS-equipped UAV makes discrete-time broadcasts of…

In this paper, the problem of target localization in the presence of outlying sensors is tackled. This problem is important in practice because in many real-world applications the sensors might report irrelevant data unintentionally or…
