Autonomous micro helicopters are starting to play a major role in tasks like search and rescue, environment monitoring, security surveillance, transportation and inspection. However, for such operations, two main challenges arise. The use GPS based navigation is not sufficient. Fully autonomous operation in cities or other dense indoor and outdoor environments requires micro helicopters to fly at low altitudes, where GPS signals are often shadowed or absent.. In addition, during the previous mentioned tasks, agile motions are still not possible, compromising the execution of critical missions. These should be typically accomplished in a fast and agile manner and within a limited amount of time. Thus, several perception and control challenges have still to be addressed and solved. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) should be able to fly autonomously with agility in extreme navigation conditions guaranteeing robust high rate state estimation for closed loop control.
Topics of interest to this workshop include, but are not necessarily limited to:
Agile autonomous navigation of UAVs
High-speed visual control and state estimation of aerial vehicles
Long term and range perception for UAVs without GPS
Sensor fusion for autonomous navigation in unstructured environment
System software and hardware architectures
Mapping and Obstacle avoidance
Perception in challenging and dynamic environments
Modeling and benchmarking of performances for three-dimensional navigation
Dynamic visual servo control of aerial vehicles
Cooperative estimation and control with multiple aerial vehicles
Resource constrained navigation
Field robotics
Search and rescue robotics
