UAV Teams in Emergency Scenarios: A Summary of the Work within the Project PRISMA
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent years autonomous robots, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in particular, are becoming always more important in the context of emergency scenarios, being able to anticipate the actions of human operators and to support them during rescue operations. In this context, the investigation of strategies for the autonomous control of UAVs, for the development of Human-Swarm Interfaces and for the coverage of large areas is crucial. All these aspects have been analyzed within the Italian project PRISMA, and they will be here summarized.

The present study, thus, presents an optimization model aimed at ...
متن کاملA New Vision-Based and GPS-Signal-Independent Approach in Jamming Detection and UAV Absolute Positioning Assessment
The Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) positioning in the outdoor environment is usually done by the Global Positioning System (GPS). Due to the low power of the GPS signal at the earth surface, its performance disrupted in the contaminated environments with the jamming attacks. The UAV positioning and its accuracy using GPS will be degraded in the jamming attacks. A positioning error about tens of...

متن کاملThroughput Maximization for Multi-Slot Data Transmission via Two-Hop DF SWIPT-Based UAV System
In this paper, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) assisted cooperative communication system is studied, wherein a source transmits information to the destination through an energy harvesting decode-and-forward UAV. It is assumed that the UAV can freely move in between the source-destination pair to set up line of sight communications with the both nodes. Since the battery of the UAV may be limite...
