Visual Environment Assessment for Safe Autonomous Quadrotor Landing
Autonomous identification and evaluation of safe landing zones are of paramount importance for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of aerial robots in the event of system failures, low battery, or the successful completion of specific tasks. In this paper, we present a novel approach for detection and assessment of potential landing sites for safe quadrotor landing. Our solution efficiently integrates 2D and 3D environmental information, eliminating the need for external aids such as GPS and …

Probabilistic Roadmaps for Aerial Relay Path Planning
Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be utilized as aerial relays to serve users far from terrestrial infrastructure. Existing algorithms for planning the paths of multiple aerial relays cannot generally accommodate flight constraints. These are imposed by the presence of obstacles, such as buildings, and by regulations, which include altitude limits, minimum distance to people, and no-fly zones to name a few. Existing schemes for UAV path planning typically handle these constraints v…
