A Comparison Between Framed-Based and Event-Based Cameras for Flapping-Wing Robot Perception

IROS 2023poster

Perception systems for ornithopters face severe challenges. The harsh vibrations and abrupt movements caused during flapping are prone to produce motion blur and strong lighting condition changes. Their strict restrictions in weight, size, and energy consumption also limit the type and number of sen…

Why fly blind? Event-based visual guidance for ornithopter robot flight

IROS 2021poster

The development of perception and control methods that allow bird-scale flapping-wing robots (a.k.a. ornithopters) to perform autonomously is an under-researched area. This paper presents a fully onboard event-based method for ornithopter robot visual guidance. The method uses event cameras to explo…

Asynchronous Event-based Line Tracking for Time-to-Contact Maneuvers in UAS

IROS 2020poster

This paper presents an bio-inspired event-based perception scheme for agile aerial robot maneuvering. It tries to mimic birds, which perform purposeful maneuvers by closing the separation in the retinal image (w.r.t. the goal) to follow time-to-contact trajectories. The proposed approach is based on…

Asynchronous event-based clustering and tracking for intrusion monitoring in UAS

ICRA 2020poster

Automatic surveillance and monitoring using Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) require the development of perception systems that robustly work under different illumination conditions. Event cameras are neuromorphic sensors that capture the illumination changes in the scene with very low latency and high…
