“System Design and Real-Time Guidance of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Autonomous Exploration of Outdoor Environments”

Abstract:

This talk presents the successful development and validation of an aerial mobile robotic system that produces accurate, georeferenced, three-dimensional maps of outdoor environments by means of autonomous exploration. A fundamental part of this work is the distributed software architecture for in-flight sensor fusion and data analysis, with a focus on a novel, truly three-dimensional algorithm generating multiple next best views (NBVs).

In order to satisfy real-time constraints, algorithms are implemented on a highly parallel SIMD architecture found in modern GPUs, allowing for extremely fast motion planning and responsive visualization.
