The ability to detect objects, under image corruptions and different weather conditions is vital for deep learning models especially when applied to real-world applications such as autonomous driving. Traditional RGB-based detection fails under these conditions and it is thus important to design a s…
This paper addresses a path planning problem for a fleet of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that uses both prior information and online gathered data to efficiently inspect large surfaces such as ship hulls and water tanks. UAVs can detect corrosion patches and other defects on the surface from low-…
This paper addresses the problem of exploring unknown terrains with a fleet of cooperating aerial vehicles. We present a novel decentralized approach which alternates gradient-free stochastic optimization and a frontier-based approach. Our method allows each robot to generate its trajectory based on…
We study the problem of monitoring the evolution of atmospheric variables within low-altitude cumulus clouds with a fleet of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). To tackle this challenge, two main problems can be identified: i) creating on-line maps of the relevant variables, based on sparse local measu…
