We propose a dual-resolution scheme to achieve time-efficient autonomous exploration with
one or many robots. The scheme maintains a high-resolution local map of the robot's …

This paper presents a state-of-the-art tethered unmanned aerial vehicle (TUAV) for structural
integrity assessment of underground stone mine pillars. The TUAV, powered by its tether …

We present a coordinated autonomy pipeline for multi-sensor exploration of confined
environments. We simultaneously address four broad challenges that are typically …

Autonomous exploration of unknown environments with multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(UAVs) is a challenging problem. In this article, we present DPPM, a Decentralized …

This paper contributes a novel strategy for semantics-aware autonomous exploration and
inspection path planning. Attuned to the fact that environments that need to be explored …

Autonomous exploration has many important applications. However, classic information
gain-based or frontier-based exploration only relies on the robot current state to determine …

This paper presents a solution for the autonomous exploration and inspection of Ballast
Water Tanks (BWTs) of marine vessels using aerial robots. Ballast tank compartments are …

This paper presents LIVES: LiDAR Informed Visual Search, an autonomous planner for
unknown environments. We consider the pixel-wise environment perception problem where …

This letter tackles the challenge of autonomous target search using unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs) in complex unknown environments. To fill the gap in systematic approaches …

This work proposes an autonomous multi-robot exploration pipeline that coordinates the
behaviors of robots in an indoor environment composed of multiple rooms. Contrary to …
