Acoustics-based drone navigation and interaction
Autonomous multi-rotor aerial vehicles (MAVs) are an emerging technology, which has a large number of current and potential applications in a wide range of industries. These airborne vehicles are becoming growingly autonomous thanks to modern artificial intelligence technologies, with their navigation and interaction capabilities based predominantly on visual sensing. While vision navigation has attracted considerable attention, it suffers from a poor performance in low light, limited field of view, and direct sunlight and is vulnerable to occlusions. Acoustic sensing can complement and even replace vision in many situations, and it also benefits from lower system cost and energy footprint,…
