Abstract:
Intersections represents one of the most common accident sites in traffic today. The biggest cause of accidents is obstructed view and subpar communication between vehicles. Since autonomous vehicles rely on sensors that require a direct view intersections are some of the most complex situations. Where the potential for inter vehicular communication exists between modern vehicles, it is absent in the older generation. An overseeing intersection system can fill this function during the transition period to fully autonomous traffic. This project aimed to implement an intersection system to assis

Abstract:
This thesis investigates new convex optimisation techniques for motion and pose estimation. Numerous computer vision problems can be formulated as optimisation problems. These optimisation problems are generally solved via linear techniques using the singular value decomposition or iterative methods under an L2 norm minimisation. Linear techniques have the advantage of offering a closed-form solution that is simple to implement. The quantity being minimised is, however, not geometrically or statistically meaningful. Conversely, L2 algorithms rely on iterative estimation, where a cost function

With devastating natural disasters on the rise, technological improvements are needed in the field of search and rescue (SAR). Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) would be ideal for the search function such that manned vehicles can be prioritized to distributing first-aid and ultimately saving lives. One of the major reasons that UAVs are under utilized in SAR is that they lack a long flight endurance which compromises their effectiveness. Dirigibles are well suited for SAR missions since they can hover and maintain lift without consuming energy and can be easily deflated for packaging and transpo

Abstract:
This thesis addresses the path planning problem for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) using homotopy classes to provide topological information on how paths avoid obstacles. Looking for a path within a homotopy class constrains the search into a specific area of the search space, speeding up the computation of the path. Given a workspace with obstacles, the method starts by generating the homotopy classes. Those which probably contain lower cost solutions are determined by means of a lower bound criterion before computing a path. Finally, a path planner uses the topological information of

Abstract:
The ability to gather and process information regarding the condition of forest fires is essential to cost-effective, safe, and efficient fire fighting. Advances in sensory and autopilot technology have made miniature unmanned aerial systems (UASs) an important tool in the acquisition of information. This thesis addresses some of the challenges faced when employing UASs for forest-fire perimeter surveillance; namely, perimeter tracking, cooperative perimeter surveillance, and path planning. Solutions to the first two issues are presented and a method for understanding path planning within the

Abstract:
The Autonomous Multi-Agent Physically Interacting Spacecraft (AMPHIS) test bed examines the problem of multiple spacecraft interacting at close proximity. This thesis contributes to this on-going research by addressing the development of the software architecture for the AMPHIS spacecraft simulator robots and the implementation of a Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) unit to be used for state estimation and navigation of the prototype robot. The software modules developed include: user input for simple user tasking; user output for data analysis and animation; external data links for sensors

Abstract:
The recent technological advances in the field of autonomous vehicles have resulted in a growing impetus for researchers to improve the current framework of mission planning and execution within both the military and civilian contexts. Many recent efforts towards this direction emphasize the importance of replacing the so-called monolithic paradigm, where a mission is planned, monitored, and controlled by a unique global decision maker, with a network centric paradigm, where the same mission related tasks are performed by networks of interacting decision makers (autonomous vehicles).

碩士<br>國立雲林科技大學<br>機械工程系<br>103<br>The thesis presents a method for the automatic interior cruise and obstacle avoidance of Intelligent Autonomous Vehicle (IAV) with the guidance of Light Detection and Ranging sensor (LiDAR). The main point of the thesis is to enhance the cruise speed and obstacle avoidance functions for IAV "Yun-Trip I" and develop its advanced version IAV "Yun-Trip II". The advanced "Yun-Trip II" features chassis from its predecessor, improve computer vision with a single LiDAR as core, adopted ARM-Based embedded system GNU/Linux, and perform cruising calculation and route lo

Abstract:
Gaining from significant advances in their performance granted by technological evolution, Autonomous Vehicles are rapidly increasing the number of fields of possible and effective applications. From operations in hostile, dangerous environments (military use in removing unexploded projectiles, survey of nuclear power and chemical industrial plants following accidents) to repetitive 24h tasks (border surveillance), from power-multipliers helping in production to less exotic commercial application in household activities (cleaning robots as consumer electronics products), the combination of aut
