We present a simple probabilistic framework for multimodal sensor fusion that allows a mobile robot to reliably locate and approach the most promising interaction partner among a group of people, in an uncontrolled environment. Our demonstration integrates three complementary sensor modalities, each…
We propose a novel method for non-uniform terrain coverage using Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The existing methods for coverage path planning consider a uniformly interesting target area and hence all the regions are covered with high resolution. However in many real world applications items of…
We present the first demonstration of establishing mutual attention between an outdoor UAV in autonomous normal flight and an uninstrumented human user. We use the familiar periodic waving gesture as a signal to attract the UAV's attention. The UAV can discriminate this gesture from human walking an…
