Explicit-risk-aware Path Planning with Reward Maximization

no code implementations7 Mar 2019 Xuesu Xiao, Jan Dufek, Robin Murphy

Without manual assignment of the negative impact to the planner caused by risk, this planner takes in a pre-established viewpoint quality map and plans target location and path leading to it simultaneously, in order to maximize overall reward along the entire path while minimizing risk.

Visual Servoing of Unmanned Surface Vehicle from Small Tethered Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

1 code implementation9 Oct 2017 Haresh Karnan, Aritra Biswas, Pranav Vaidik Dhulipala, Jan Dufek, Robin Murphy

The motor schema proposed, uses the USVs coordinates from the visual localization subsystem to control the UAVs camera movements and track the USV with minimal camera movements such that the USV is always in the cameras field of view.
