Today's robotic laboratories for drones are housed in a large room. At times, they are the
size of a warehouse. These spaces are typically equipped with permanent devices to …

Planar fiducial markers are commonly used to estimate a pose of a camera relative to the
marker. This information can be combined with other sensor data to provide a global or local …

This paper presents a novel pose estimation frame-work that provides high-accuracy
localization for vertical take-off and landing aircraft in settings where GPS is unreliable or …

One of the most challenging tasks in a disaster scenario is the detection and localization of
victims with high accuracy and minimum delay, especially in out-of-coverage areas. In the …

Robotic platforms including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) require an accurate and
reliable source of position information, especially in indoor environments where GNSS …

Newly built high-voltage sites are required to assess their impact on the environmental
magnetic field (MF), and surveyors mainly conduct on-site measurements on foot. However …

For the measurement and technical evaluation of industrial robots, a test procedure defined
in ISO 9283 has existed for 25 years, with which the performance criteria of industrial robots …
