Autonomous Navigation of Cloud-Controlled Quadcopters in Confined Spaces Using Multi-Modal Perception and LLM-Driven High Semantic Reasoning
This paper introduces an advanced AI-driven perception system for autonomous quadcopter navigation in GPS-denied indoor environments. The proposed framework leverages cloud computing to offload computationally intensive tasks and incorporates a custom-designed printed circuit board (PCB) for efficient sensor data acquisition, enabling robust navigation in confined spaces. The system integrates YOLOv11 for object detection, Depth Anything V2 for monocular depth estimation, a PCB equipped with Ti…

Progress!
STM32H750 Trion T20 setup is now able to:
* Initialize QUADSPI-connected flash on MCU board and use it for microkvs. Currently in x1 mode, quad will come later once I debug a bit
* Bootloader attempts to boot an image in QUADSPI flash, but it fails because there's no code there
* Connect to FPGA via FMC-APB bridge
* Identify FPGA via hardcoded IDCODE in device info block (there doesn't seem to be any ICAP-equivalent in Trion that lets you determi…

Experimental Validation of Decentralized Affine Transformation
This paper presents an experimental validation of decentralized affine transformation (AT) in multi-agent systems using teams of mini-quadcopters. The AT framework enables an agent team to safely navigate constrained, obstacle-rich environments while allowing aggressive changes in inter-agent distances, which are formally characterized through the decomposition of the AT transformation matrix. Without loss of generality, we focus on two-dimensional AT, formulated as a decentralized leader-follo…

Fault Tolerant Control of a Quadcopter using Reinforcement Learning
This study presents a novel reinforcement learning (RL)-based control framework aimed at enhancing the safety and robustness of the quadcopter, with a specific focus on resilience to in-flight one propeller failure. Addressing the critical need of a robust control strategy for maintaining a desired altitude for the quadcopter to safe the hardware and the payload in physical applications. The proposed framework investigates two RL methodologies Dynamic Programming (DP) and Deep Deterministic Pol…
