Small unmanned aerial vehicles called micro-UAVs are excellent examples of cyber-
physical systems which interact with complex and dynamic environments. The success of …

Small fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are becoming increasingly capable of
flying at low altitudes and in constrained environments. This paper addresses the problem of …

We present an open‐source system for Micro‐Aerial Vehicle (MAV) autonomous navigation
from vision‐based sensing. Our system focuses on dense mapping, safe local planning, and …

Data acquisition from mobile platforms has become established in many communities,
because of the possibility to cover wide areas. For mapping from above, unmanned aerial …

In order to enable microaerial vehicles (MAVs) to assist in complex, unknown, unstructured
environments, they must be able to navigate with guaranteed safety, even when faced with a …

Micro air vehicles have become very popular in recent years. Autonomous navigation of
such systems plays an important role in many industrial applications as well as in search …

Abstract Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) are increasingly regarded as a valid low-cost
alternative to UAVs and ground robots in surveillance missions and a number of other civil …

Recent advances in autonomy of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have increased their
use in remote sensing applications, such as precision agriculture, biosecurity, disaster …

We discuss several techniques that assist in the field deployments of fixed-wing mini-UAVs
to assist search teams, focusing on automatic takeoff and landing. We also present a real …

In recent years, significant achievements have been made in motion planning for intelligent
vehicles. However, as a typical unstructured environment, open-pit mining attracts limited …
