Localization of emergency acoustic sources by micro aerial vehicles

Dario Floreano, Meysam Basiri, Felix Stephan Schill

For micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) involved in search and rescue missions, the ability to locate the source of a distress sound signal is significantly important and allows fast localization of victims and rescuers during nighttime, through foliage and in du ...

On-Board Relative Bearing Estimation for Teams of Drones Using Sound

Dario Floreano, Meysam Basiri, Felix Stephan Schill

In a team of autonomous drones, individual knowledge about the relative location of teammates is essential. Existing relative positioning solutions for teams of small drones mostly rely on external systems such as motion tracking cameras or GPS satellites ...

Audio-based Positioning and Target Localization for Swarms of Micro Aerial Vehicles

Meysam Basiri

Swarms of autonomous MAVs show great potential in many diverse applications. In a search and rescue mission, a group of MAVs could quickly reach disaster areas by flying over obstacles, cluttered and inaccessible terrains, and work in parallel to detect an ...

Distributed Formation Control of Fixed Wing Micro Aerial Vehicles for Uniform Area Coverage

Dario Floreano, Meysam Basiri, Maja Varga, Grégoire Hilaire Marie Heitz

Teams of fixed wing micro-aerial vehicles (MAVs) could provide a wide area coverage and relay data in wireless ad-hoc networks. In such applications fixed wing MAVs have to be able to regulate an inter-robot distance. Fixed wing MAVs have reduced maneuvera ...

Audio-based Localization for Swarms of Micro Air Vehicles

Dario Floreano, Meysam Basiri, Felix Stephan Schill

Localization is one of the key challenges that needs to be considered beforehand to design truly autonomous MAV teams. In this paper, we present a cooperative method to address the localization problem for a team of MAVs, where individuals obtain their pos ...

Robust Acoustic Source Localization of Emergency Signals from Micro Air Vehicles

Dario Floreano, Meysam Basiri, Felix Stephan Schill

In search and rescue missions, Micro Air Vehicles (MAV's) can assist rescuers to faster locate victims inside a large search area and to coordinate their efforts. Acoustic signals play an important role in outdoor rescue operations. Emergency whistles, as ...
