- A fruitful beginning for 2015: we got 3 papers accepted at ICRA 2015. They are related with our work on AtlantikSolar as well as our goal towards autonomous structural inspection path-planning. Below their titles:
- A. Bircher, K. Alexis, M. Burri, P. Oettershagen, S. Omari, T. Mantel, R. Siegwart, "Structural Inspection Path Planning via Iterative Viewpoint Resampling with Application to Aerial Robotics". An open-source tool is also released and provides a basic implementation of our algorithm: https://github.com/ethz-asl/StructuralInspectionPlanner
- P. Oettershagen, A. Melzer, T. Mantel, K. Rudin, R. Lotz, D. Siebenmann, S. Leutenegger, K. Alexis, R. Siegwart, "A Solar-Powered Hand-Launchable UAV for Low-Altitude Multi-Day Continuous Flight"
- G. De Cubber, D. Doroftei, H. Balta, Y. Baudoin, Y. Yvinec, D. Serrano, K. Alexis, R. Wagemans, "Field experience on deploying unmanned aerial systems for search and rescue and demining", WS on "Robotics & Automation Technologies for Humanitarian Applications: Where we are & Where we can be"
