Since the delivery of the first A320 airliner with a Fly-by-Wire Flight Control System (FCS) in 1988, aircraft avionics architecture evolved significantly. Federated Architecture applied in the A320 family of aircraft presumed one computer per function. Limits regarding weight and space availability were reached and new generation of aircraft designed in early 2000s were equipped with Distributed...
This paper reviews the state of the art (SOTA) in distributed flight control technologies using publicly available, scientific and technical publications. Technological developments, such as embedded computing and microelectromechanical systems are enabling advanced aerospace-oriented distributed systems. Distributed systems are comprised of a large number of simple elements, each with its own sensing,...
The usage of mobile robots in service sector is increasing in the past decade. There are already mobile robots as night guards, tourist guides, transportation units, etc. In order to efficiently perform its task, a mobile robot has to know precisely its current pose. Also to simplify the commissioning of a mobile robot system various algorithms for map building without a human intervention have been...
Global localization is the problem of determining the position of a mobile robot under global uncertainty. The algorithm introduced here is based on the multiple model (MM) and exploits a soft gating of the problem (SG) to reduce the computational requirements of the approach. This localization algorithm is based on combining histograms and Hough transform. Presented algorithm is tested using a Pioneer...
This paper addresses the creation of a consistent occupancy grid map from local sensors data collected during mobile robot movement. The map building problem, together with the mobile robot localization problem, is one of the major problems of mobile robots navigation. It can be defined as an environment modelling problem using different algorithms for sensor data integration. Bayesian and Dempster-Shafer...
