Autonomous Mission Planning Method for Optical Imaging Satellites Based on Real-Time Cloud Cover Information

A Dynamic Bioinspired Neural Network Based Real-Time Path Planning Method for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

Real-time path planning for autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is a very difficult and challenging task. Bioinspired neural network (BINN) has been used to deal with this problem for its many distinct advantages: that is, no learning process is needed and realization is also easy. However, there are some shortcomings when BINN is applied to AUV path planning in a three-dimensional (3D) unknown...

Human Centred Perspectives on Mission Planning for Autonomous Systems

Three threads are covered in the work reported here, which relate to the interaction of humans with uninhabited, autonomous, military systems. Firstly, there is the communication of goals to an autonomous system. Increasing adherence to the NATO standard structured format and the adoption of effects-based operations are seen as enabling factors potentially allowing the comprehension of orders i...

Mission control of autonomous vehicles based on time logic framework

This talk presents recent research of mission control of autonomous vehicle based on time logic framework. First, an introduction to the topic of autonomous vehicles, the different control levels and the problem of mission control, is given. Then a logic control paradigm is proposed to deal with the mission control specification and solution. This approach is based on the use of linear temporal...

Low-cost Real-time Sar Simulation for Applications in Mission Planning, Education and Information Extraction

SAR simulators are important for a huge variety of applications. Realistic SAR simulations need realistic 3D models, which are often not available. Less realistic models can be used in the less accurate real-time simulation approach. Using modern graphic cards for SAR simulation even complex environments can be simulated in real-time. This is realised by implementing of SAR geometry and radiome...
