An Autonomous Multivehicle System for Reconnaissance

摘要

This paper documents the Waterloo Aerial Robotics Group’s design strategy for arnsystem of autonomous air vehicles for the International Aerial Robotics Competition.rnThe vehicles will have the ability to fly autonomously to a target building, identify thernbuilding and an opening in it, enter the building, and navigate through it in order tornlocate and photograph a target object. This paper presents the overall methodologyrnused in designing the system, including the control, vision and intelligent navigationrnschemes, as well as some innovative hardware and software solutions. A discussion ofrnthe group’s strategy to complete the objectives of the competition is given.
