Reactive Collision Avoidance for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Using Doppler Radar
نویسندگان
چکیده
Research into reactive collision avoidance for unmanned aerial vehicles has been conducted on unmanned terrestrial and mini aerial vehicles utilising active Doppler radar obstacle detection sensors. Flight tests conducted by flying a mini UAV at an obstacle have confirmed that a simple reactive collision avoidance algorithm enables aerial vehicles to autonomously avoid obstacles. This builds upon simulation work and results obtained using a terrestrial vehicle that had already confirmed that active sensors and a reactive collision avoidance algorithm are able to successfully find a collision free path through an obstacle field.

Decentralized Collision Avoidance Framework for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Collision avoidance for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is a vital issue when using multiple drones. Decentralized collision avoidance algorithms allow for greater range and independence when compared to a centralized approach; however, it also shifts the workload of detecting and resolving conflicts from a more powerful ground station onto individual agents, requiring both a computationally ef...
