Distance Estimation Using Self-Induced Noise of an Aerial Vehicle

RA-L 2021

In this letter, we propose an algorithm to estimate the distance between an aerial vehicle and a large obstacle using the self-induced noise present during the vehicle's normal operation. We demonstrate the feasibility of using the proposed estimation method in real-time as a feedback mechanism to a

Bio-Inspired Distance Estimation using the Self-Induced Acoustic Signature of a Motor-Propeller System

ICRA 2020poster

In this paper we propose an algorithm to actively control the distance of a motor-propeller system (MPS) to a large obstacle using data from a single microphone. The method is based upon a broadband constructive/destructive interference pattern across the audible frequency band that is present when…

Low latency bounty hunting and geographically adjacent server configuration for real-time cloud control

ICRA 2016

This paper explores the feasibility and proposes a method on how to obtain high frequency real-time controllers operating in loop with physical robot hardware over a geographically adjacent and bounty hunting cloud server architecture. Having the cloud in the loop has many purposes including increas
