Real-Time High-Accuracy 2D Localization with Structured Patterns

Pierre Dillenbourg, Francesco Mondada, Séverin Lemaignan, Ayberk Özgür, Lukas Oliver Hostettler

Building over algorithms previously developed for digital pens, this article introduces a novel 2D localization technique for mobile robots, based on simple printed patterns. This method combines high absolute accuracy (below 0.3mm), unlimited scalability, ...

A Novel Approach to Reducing Number of Sensing Units for Wearable Gait Analysis Systems

Kamiar Aminian, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli, Arash Salarian

Gait analysis methods to estimate spatiotemporal measures, based on two, three or four gyroscopes attached on lower limbs have been discussed in the literature. The most common approach to reduce the number of sensing units is to simplify the underlying bi ...

Vision-based control of near-obstacle flight

Antoine Beyeler

Lightweight micro unmanned aerial vehicles (micro-UAVs) capable of autonomous flight in natural and urban environments have a large potential for civil and commercial applications, including environmental monitoring, forest fire monitoring, homeland securi ...

Vision-based control of near-obstacle flight

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Antoine Beyeler

This paper presents a novel control strategy, which we call optiPilot, for autonomous flight in the vicinity of obstacles. Most existing autopilots rely on a complete 6-degree-of-freedom state estimation using a GPS and an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) a ...

A Minimalist Control Strategy for Small UAVs

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Severin Leven

Most autopilots of existing Miniature Unmanned Air Vehicles (MUAVs) rely on control architectures that typically use a large number of sensors (gyros, accelerometers, magnetometers, GPS) and a computationally demanding estimation of flight states. As a con ...

Two degrees of freedom miniaturized gyroscope based on active magnetic bearings

Thomas Bosgiraud

The introduction of the active blocking system, better known as ABS, into cars revealed the growing need for inertial sensing. Among other data, that permit to apprehend the movements of a vehicle, the measurement of the vehicle angular velocity describes ...

Improvement of Orientation Estimation in Pedestrian Navigation by Compensation of Magnetic Disturbances

Phillip Tomé, Okan Yalak

Over the last few years there has been a growing interest in the domain of pedestrian navigation, stimulated by the increasing demand for Location Based Services. Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR) based on MEMS sensors has been at the heart of most high-end ...

A 10-gram Vision-based Flying Robot

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Jean-Daniel Nicoud, Antoine Beyeler, Adam Klaptocz

We aim at developing ultralight autonomous microflyers capable of freely flying within houses or small built environments while avoiding collisions. Our latest prototype is a fixed-wing aircraft weighing a mere 10 g, flying around 1.5 m/s and carrying the ...

Quadrotor Using Minimal Sensing For Autonomous Indoor Flight

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Timothy Stirling, James Roberts

This paper presents a Miniature Aerial Vehicle (MAV) capable of hands-off autonomous operation within indoor environments. Our prototype is a Quadrotor weighing approximately 600g, with a diameter of 550mm, which carries the necessary electronics for stabi ...

Vision-based Altitude and Pitch Estimation for Ultra-light Indoor Microflyers

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Claudio Mattiussi, Antoine Beyeler

Autonomous control of ultra-light indoor microflyers is a difficult and largely unsolved task because of the strong limitations on the kind of sensors that can be embedded. We propose a new approach for altitude control of a 10-gram microflyer, where altit ...
