This paper describes the development of a test bed for an on-drone computation system, in which the drone plays the game of ping-pong competitively (YCCD: The Yorktown Cognitive Competition Drone). Unlike other drone systems and demonstrators YCCD will be completely autonomous with no external support from cameras, servers, GPS etc. YCCD will have ultra-low power computation capabilities including...
Micro aerial vehicles, such as multirotors, are particular well suited for the autonomous monitoring, inspection, and surveillance of buildings, e.g., for maintenance in industrial plants. Key prerequisites for the fully autonomous operation of micro aerial vehicles in complex 3D environments include real-time state estimation, obstacle detection, mapping, and navigation planning. In this paper, we...
There is growing interest among smartphone users in the ability to determine their precise location in their environment for a variety of applications related to way finding, travel and shopping. While GPS provides valuable self-localization estimates, its accuracy is limited to approximately 10 meters in most urban locations. This paper focuses on the self-localization needs of blind or visually...
