Firstly this article presents a multi-level architecture permitting the localization of a mobile platform and secondly an incremental construction of the environment's map. The environment will be modeled by an occupancy grid built with information provided by the stereovision system situated on the platform. The reliability of these data is introduced to the grid by the propagation of uncertainties...
Geolocation with three or more unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) based on time-difference-of-arrivals (TDOA) is possible but has implementation problems including UAV trajectory optimization, measurement association, and communication bandwidth limitations. The complexity of each of these problems is manageable with a simpler system of two netted UAVs that processes multiple TDOA measurements collected...
Summary form only given. The routing and munitions management of multiple formations of unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs) through network enabled sensing will be discussed. The ability of the UCAVs to group into large formations and to divide into smaller formations on their way to high-value, tactical targets will be cast in the optimization. To solve such problem a sensory information management...
This paper presents a methodology for the evaluation of a path planning algorithm based on a learning approach. Here this evaluation procedure is applied for the problem of optimizing the navigation of a mobile robot in a known environment. A metric map composed of landmarks representing natural elements is given to define the best trajectory which permits to guarantee a localization performance during...
This paper presents a decentralized approach to path planning for large numbers of autonomous vehicles in sparse environments. Unlike existing approaches, which are either computationally expensive or communication intensive, the presented approach allows large numbers of vehicles to plan independently with low communication overhead. The key to the algorithm is to observe that, in sparse environments,...
