Detecting Flying Objects using a Single Moving Camera

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Artem Rozantsev

We propose an approach for detecting flying objects such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and aircrafts when they occupy a small portion of the field of view, possibly moving against complex backgrounds, and are filmed by a camera that itself moves. We a ...

Reynolds flocking in reality with fixed-wing robots: communication range vs. maximum turning rate

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Sabine Hauert, Severin Leven, Maja Varga

The success of swarm behaviors often depends on the range at which robots can communicate and the speed at which they change their behavior. Challenges arise when the communication range is too small with respect to the dynamics of the robot, preventing in ...
