In this paper, we present an implementation of indoor flight to navigate to the designated places capable of hands-off autonomous operation within indoor environments. Our flight requires computer vision technique and smartphone device to allow it to be flown indoors without high-performance sensors which are too expensive to commercialization. The experimental result show that proposed implementation is fairly meaningful in a general building.

최근 무인 항공 기술의 발전과 함께 드론의 상업적 활용이 가속화되고 있다. 산업계 및 학계에서는 인공지능, 사물인터넷 등 지능정보기술을 활용하여 드론 응용에 자율 비행을 적용하고자 노력하고 있지만 해결되지 못한 문제들이 산적해 있다. 그러므로 완전 자율 비행은 아니지만, 드론 조종에 경험이 없는 비전문가도 드론을 용이하게 조정할 수 있는 반자동 방식의 비행 제어를 채택한 드론 응용이 개발이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 실내환경에서 정찰 임무 수행을 위한 반자동 비행 조종 시스템을 제안한다. 제안한 시스템은 교차로 지점마다 사용자에게 이동 방향을 선택할 기회를 제공하고 교차로 간 일정한 속도 및 벽면과의 일정한 간격으로 자율비행하도록 제어한다. 또한, 실내 측위 기술인 ORB-SLAM 알고리즘을 이용하여 드론이 실내 공간 및 자신의 위치를 파악하도록 한다.

In this paper, we propose a the image-based automatic flight control system for the mini drone. Automatic flight system with a camera on the ceiling and markers on the floor and landing position is designed in an indoor environment. Images from the ceiling camera is used not only to recognize the makers and landing position but also to track the drone motion. PC sever identifies the location of the drone and sends control commands to the mini drone. Flight controller of the mini drone is designed using state-machine algorithm, PID control and way-point position control method. From the, The proposed automatic flight control system is verified through the experiments of the mini drone. We see that known makers in environment are recognized and the drone can follows the trajectories with the specific ㄱ, ㄷ and ㅁ shapes. Also, experimental results show that the drone can approach and correctly land on the target positions which are set at different height.

본 논문에서는 optical flow sensor를 이용하여 실내의 바닥 영상인식를 통한 영상처리기법을 이용해 움직임 없는 hovering을 할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 또한 optical flow와 BLE finger printing 기법을 혼합해 위치 인식 정밀도를 높일 수 있다. 본 고에서는 optical flow sensor와 BLE finger printing의 두 기술을 혼합하면 드론 스스로 실내에서 정밀도 높은 위치인식이 가능 하며 실외에서만 사용할 수 있는 GPS 비행모드를 대신 할 수 있어 실내에서 자동 경로 비행이 가능하게 하고 위치 안내, 실내 방송촬영, 이동식 CCTV등 질 높은 서비스를 제공하고자 한다.

Vespa hornets are notorious predators of honeybees in Korean beekeeping. Detection of vespa hornet attacking on honeybee colony was tried through analysis of wing beat frequency profiling from Vespa mandarinia. Wing beat profiles of V. mandarinia during active flight and resting were distinctively different. From the wing beat profiling, algorithm of automated detection of vespa attack was encoded, and alert system was developed using Teensy 3.2 and Raspberry pi 3. From the laboratory testing, the prototype system successfully detected vespa wing beats and delivered the vespa attack information to the user wirelessly. Further development of the system could help precision alert system of the vespa attack to apiary.

This paper presents a test development of a Fly-By-Wireless flight control system for a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Fly-By-Wireless system (FBWLS) refers to a system that uses a wireless network instead of a wired network to connect sensors and actuators with a flight control computer (FCC), reducing considerable amount of wires. FBWLS enables to design a much lighter aircraft along with decreased maintenance time and cost. In this research we developed a Zigbee-based FWBLS UAV in which sensors (GPS and AHRS) are wirelessly connected via a FCC to aileron and elevator servo motors. In order to see the effect of time delay due to wireless signal on the flight stability of the UAV, several flight tests were conducted. From the tests, it was confirmed that the effect is minor by comparing the flight response of the FBWLS with the corresponding Fly-By-Wire system.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is widely used to aid the navigation of aerial vehicles. However, the GPS cannot be used indoors, so alternative navigation methods are needed to be developed for micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) flying in GPS-denied environments. In this paper, a real-time three-dimensional (3-D) indoor navigation system and closed-loop control of a quad-rotor aerial vehicle equipped with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and a low-cost light detection and ranging (LIDAR) is presented. In order to estimate the pose of the vehicle equipped with the two-dimensional LIDAR, an octree-based grid map and Monte-Carlo Localization (MCL) are adopted. The navigation results using the MCL are then evaluated by making a comparison with a motion capture system. Finally, the results are used for closed-loop control in order to validate its positioning accuracy during procedures for stable hovering and waypoint-following.
