Advanced Algorithmic and Architecture Designs for Future Satellite Navigation Receivers

Youssef Tawk

The use of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers for navigation still presents many challenges, in particular in urban canyon and indoor environments where satellite availability is reduced and received signals are usually much atten- uated. ...

Cooperative navigation in robotic swarms

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Stéphane Magnenat, Philippe Rétornaz

We study cooperative navigation for robotic swarms in the context of a general event-servicing scenario. In the scenario, one or more events need to be serviced at specific locations by robots with the required skills. We focus on the question of how the s ...

Modeling and Processing Approaches for Integrated Inertial Navigation

Yannick Stebler

The challenge of estimating the position, velocity and orientation in space in a precise and reliable way, at any time, with and without reception of satellite signals, is the core subject of this dissertation. To this end, the use of Bayesian filters whic ...

Contact-based navigation for an autonomous flying robot

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Adrien Briod, Adam Klaptocz, Przemyslaw Mariusz Kornatowski, Arnaud Garnier, Marco Pagnamenta

Autonomous navigation in obstacle-dense indoor environments is very challenging for flying robots due to the high risk of collisions, which may lead to mechanical damage of the platform and eventual failure of the mission. While conventional approaches in ...

A navigation system for open liver surgery: design, workflow and first clinical applications

Charles Baur, Benoît Dagon, Matthias Peterhans

Background The surgical treatment of liver tumours relies on precise localization of the lesions and detailed knowledge of the patient-speciﬁc vascular and biliary anatomy. Detailed three-dimensional (3D) anatomical information facilitates complete tumour ...

Communication assisted navigation in robotic swarms: self-organization and cooperation

Francesco Mondada

We present a communication based navigation algorithm for robotic swarms. It lets robots guide each other's navigation by exchanging messages containing navigation information through the wireless network formed among the swarm. We study the use of this al ...

Rigorous Integration of Inertial Navigation with Optical Sensors by Dynamic Networks

Jan Skaloud, Denis Rouzaud

This paper presents a new concept for simultaneous modeling and adjusting of raw inertial observations with optical and (if available) GNSS data streams. The presented post-mission procedure of dynamic networks allows treating dynamic (e.g. inertial) and s ...
