In a number of applications ranging from warehouse management to people search and rescue, drones will need to evolve in the vicinity of human agents. In those situations, robust and fail-safe human detection by drones must be provided. However, human ...

In this paper, we introduce the Obstacle Detection & Avoidance (ODA) Dataset for Drones, aiming at providing raw data obtained in a real indoor environment with sensors adapted for aerial robotics in the context of obstacle detection and avoidance. Our ...

The advent of consumer and industrial Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly referred to as drones, has opened business opportunities in many fields, including logistics, smart agriculture, inspection, surveillance, and construction. In addition, ...

Drone navigation in GPS-denied, indoor environments, is still a challenging problem. As drones can perceive the environment from a richer set of viewpoints, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) becomes more complex, while having stringent ...

Beyond Visual Line of Sight operation enables drones to surpass the limits imposed by the reach and constraints of the eyes of their operator. It extends their range and, as such, productivity and profitability. Drones operating BVLOS include a variety ...

The paper describes the simulation environment for the autonomous battery management system for drones called Droneport. First, the problem of battery management is briefly described, and specific experimental and commercial solutions are listed. Then ...

The debugging and validation of the many-core design is a complex task due to numerous events happening in the system simultaneously. Current state-of-the-art many-cores are strongly based on waveforms and log files to validate their behavior during ...

Virtual prototyping is typically used for HW/SW co-design and architectural exploration. Due to the increasing design complexity and tight time-to-market, virtual prototyping platforms should achieve fast simulation speed while keeping model accuracy ...

Recent years have seen a rising trend in the exploration of nonvolatile memory (NVM) technologies in the memory subsystem. Particularly in the cache hierarchy, hybrid last-level cache (LLC) solutions are proposed to meet the wide-ranging performance ...
