In the last decade we witnessed an increased demand for employment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in practise. For instance, there is a growing need to provide surveillance task...
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) needs to orient itself in its operating environment to fly autonomously. Localisation methods based on visual data are independent of erroneous GPS...
We consider the problem of having a team of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) pursue a second team of evaders while concurrently building a map in a...
Decentralized overlapping feedback laws are designed for a formation of unmanned aerial vehicles. The dynamic model of the formation with an information structure constraint in wh...
Abstract. For autonomous systems such as unmanned aerial vehicles to successfully perform complex missions, a great deal of embedded reasoning is required at varying levels of abst...
Bush fires cause major damage each year in many areas of the world and the earlier that they can be detected the easier it is to minimize this damage. This paper describes a coll...
We apply a Reactive Tabu Search (RTS) heuristic within a discrete-event simulation to solve routing problems for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Our formulation represents this p...

In evolutionary robotics, controllers are often designed in simulation, then transferred onto the real system. Nevertheless, when no accurate model is available, controller transfe...
In recent years, there has been an increased need for surveillance capabilities in both civilian and military arenas. Mobile unmanned sensor fleets have long been envisioned as a ...

In this paper a new Fuzzy/Kalman navigation system for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) is presented. A closed loop velocity Fuzzy navigation system is proposed for stabilizing the U...
