Distributed Deconfliction Algorithm for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles with Limited Range and Field of View Sensors

Denis Gillet, Alcherio Martinoli, Steven Adriaan Roelofsen

This paper proposes a novel approach for collision avoidance between Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with limited range and field of view sensors. The algorithm is designed for unicycle vehicles that need to fly above a specific minimal speed to maintain f ...

High spatial and spectral resolution long-range sensing using Brillouin echoes

Luc Thévenaz, Stella Foaleng Mafang

High spatial (~cm) and spectral (~MHz) resolution Brillouin sensing is realized with enhanced signal to noise ratio using a pre-activated acoustic field and an optical phase control over the interrogating pulse. Pre-activation of the acoustic field preserv ...
