l The research of vision-based UAV tracking and capturing the target

Recently, drone market increased rapidly according to the growing popularity of drones. However, as the usage of drones increased, the people who take advantage of the drone increased as well, from minor violation like picturing the private life with the camera on it, to a special crime like delivering drugs. This research aims to develop the vision-based UAV to track and capture the target, which is the drone attacking to our camp. To achieve the objective, our research team integrate the autonomous flight system and the on-board image-processing system on the one UAV platform.

l Development of human-scale pilot robot - PiBot : Pilot Robot

The purpose of this research is development of a humanoid robot acts as the pilot for converting existing aircraft or car into unmanned aircraft or unmanned car with minimal modifications. In contrast to current trend, such as OPV technology and auto-pilot, this proposed method could give full-authorization to pilot robot and decrease altered parts and the required time. The pilot robot hardware is composed of four 6-DOF manipulators(two for arms and two for legs), two adapters for both hands, body frame, vison sensor. The software architecture is designed to automate flight operation from take-off to landing. The core of software is feedback control of aircraft by manipulating cockpit components based on the flight states received from flight simulator computer and waypoint planning.

l Development of the surveillance and reconnaissance UHV (Unmanned Hybrid Vehicle)

The purpose of this research is development of the autonomous robot which mutually supplements both issues of the UGVs and the UAVs by convergence of both systems. Unmanned ground robots have demerits about relatively short mission range and getting over the obstacles, and UAVs have issues of noise problem and lower energy efficiency. The developed robot can achieve various ground/aerial mixed missions which cannot be achieved by existing unmanned robots.

The UHV has ALFUS autonomy level 4, then it decides actions throughout a mission and notices to a user. It will be basically used for the surveillance and reconnaissance, or measurements of the radioactivity, gas, temperature, and humidity with additional sensors. This project demands overall unmanned system techniques such as indoor/outdoor navigation, guidance, obstacle detection and avoidance, environment modeling, path planning, etc.

l EureCar : Self-driving Car

Recently, there have been significant advances in self-driving cars, which will play a key role in future intelligent transportation system. In order for these cars to be successfully deployed in real roads, they must be able to drive by themselves along collision-free paths while obeying various traffic laws. In contrast to many existing approaches that use pre-built environment maps of roads and traffic signals, we propose system using a unified map contains not only the information on real obstacles nearby but also traffic signs and pedestrians as virtual obstacles. Using this map, the path planner can efficiently find paths free from collisions while obeying traffic laws.

EureCar is a Self-driving car that can drives itself along the pre-planned path while avoiding obstacles and obeying various traffic laws. We have been developing 2 Self-driving cars, EureCar and EureCar Turbo. EureCar (our first Self-driving car) has high precision positioning system, 7 laser scanner and 4 camera has been developing for 2 years. EureCar Turbo takes 6 months of development time for the same performance as EureCar with less and low-cost sensors. We could curtail the development period from 2 years to 6 months by using previous software developed for EureCar. Especially, it took only 2 months for developing additional software for EureCar Turbo except the period of hardware implementation and remodeling.

l Indoor 3D Navigation and Closed-Loop Control using a LiDAR and an IMU - Monte Carlo Localization in an Octree-based Occupancy Grid Map

We are developing a 3D navigation algorithm to provide a MAV with the estimated pose information in real-time. The navigation algorithm is based on Monte Carlo Localization (MCL) using a particle filter. The particle filter calculates likelihood of particles using laser measurements and ray-casted ranges of the particles that uses an octree structure for fast computation. The MCL using a particle filter is implemented to estimate position and attitude of the vehicle.

To validate the proposed indoor navigation algorithm, the experiment is conducted using a quad-rotor platform, a laser scanner, an IMU, a low-level flight controller, and a ground station computer. The onboard flight computer runs a low-level controller for position and attitude control. The attitude and position is controlled by a multi-loop PID controller and the guidance algorithm to follow waypoints or paths is also enabled. In addition, obstacle avoidance is available to deal with sudden interference of human for safety.
