چکیده

This paper outlines the design of a 2D analogue for autonomous landing on an asteroid as a hardware demonstrator/development platform, within an overall requirements structure that aims to develop a generic architecture for autonomous landing systems. Although wheeled laboratory robots may appear to be unlikely analogues for asteroid landing, the system is already proving useful as a platform for exploring and testing aspects of autonomy within the mission profile. Real-world sensor noise and inaccuracy as well as real-time issues are testing the system in a way that does not emerge from simulation alone.

Towards vision-based safe landing for an autonomous helicopter

Autonomous landing is a challenging problem for aerial robots. An autonomous landing manoeuver depends largely on two capabilities: the decision of where to land and the generation of control signals to guide the vehicle to a safe landing. We focus on the rst capability here by presenting a strategy and an underlying fast algorithm as the computer vision basis to make a safe landing decision. T...

Future study of Description System Architecture Approaches with Emphasis on Strategic Management

Systems Architecture is a generic discipline to handle objects (existing or to be created) called systems, in a way that supports reasoning about the structural properties of these objects. Systems Architecture is a response to the conceptual and practical difficulties of the description and the design of complex systems. Systems Architecture is a generic discipline to handle objects (existin...

Fuzzy Logic Based Approach to Design of Autonomous Landing System for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

This paper is concerned with autonomous flight of UAVs and proposes a fuzzy logic based autonomous flight and landing system controller. Besides three fuzzy logic controllers which are developed for autonomous navigation for UAVs in a previous work as fuzzy logic based autonomous mission control blocks, three more fuzzy logic modules are developed under the main landing system for the control o...

Landing site reachability in a forced landing of unmanned aircraft in wind

Autonomous contingency management systems, such as a forced landing system which reacts appropriately to an engine failure is important for the safe operation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). This paper details a method to ascertain the reachability of any possible emergency landing site for a forced landing in steady uniform wind conditions. With knowledge of the aircraft’s state, such as s...

Practical Social Reasoning Systems

The Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) model of rational agency provides an abstract architecture for practical reasoning systems and is today regarded as one of the key contributions of multiagent systems research to AI. So far, however, a similar model for practical social reasoning systems that is generic enough to be used as a unifying framework for the diverse methods used to manage the interac...
