High-fidelity Collaborative Perception for Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Over the past two decades, we witnessed impressive advancements in Robotics. Amongst the most disruptive developments was the demonstration of small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) equipped with onboard cameras conducting autonomous, vision-based flights without reliance on GPS, sparking booming interest in a plethora of use-cases, such as automation of drone delivery, and infrastructure inspection and maintenance. This led to the emergence of new algorithms, advanced sensors, as well as miniaturized, powerful chips, opening exciting opportunities for automating single- as well as multi-UAV navigation. Current solutions, however, lack greatly in robustness and generality, struggling to…
