Visual navigation for airborne control of ground robots from tethered platform: creation of the first prototype
This addresses coordination challenges for ground robots in controlled areas, but it is incremental as it builds on existing concepts with a new prototype.
The paper tackles the problem of coordinating ground robots using visual navigation from tethered aerial platforms, resulting in the creation of a simple prototype system.
We propose control systems for the coordination of the ground robots. We develop robot efficient coordination using the devices located on towers or a tethered aerial apparatus tracing the robots on controlled area and supervising their environment including natural and artificial markings. The simple prototype of such a system was created in the Laboratory of Applied Mathematics of Ariel University (under the supervision of Prof. Domoshnitsky Alexander) in collaboration with company TRANSIST VIDEO LLC (Skolkovo, Moscow). We plan to create much more complicated prototype using Kamin grant (Israel)
