Group 1
What are the main civil applications?
- survaillance
- broadcasting
- inspection
- agricultural and habitat monitoring
- documentation
- incident sites for insurances
- complement remote sensing
- drone follow me every day
1.5 UAVs:
- heterogenous types of devices. car&uav. spider&uav.
- helping steering.
- combine indoor and outdoor exploration
multi UAV:
- distributed view
- different views of a site
- weather measurements / weather forecast / local and global view
- different grid size measurements
- basic infrastructure distribute device
- drop devices somewhere
- cannot be accessed, hazardous environments, leakage of gas.
- access area which is not accessable otherwise
Very few existing applications?
- survaillance
- military use
- fixed wing photogrametry
- MULTI UAV: Art installations: ARS electronica (100 UAVs), like a firework, 3D screen
- parallel operation from sky to earth ( rope from cranes to lift objects)
What are the challenges in deploying an autonomous multi-UAV system in real-world?
- reliability
- system complexity
- flying close, positioning
- spacial and temporal callibration
- control via visual inputs only
- legal issues
- scalability in reality (large number of devices)
- how to know the local situation. how can all the others know the situation
- aerodynamics on small dynamics. playload is the same but devices become smaller
- reducing size reduces risks on fall outs
What can the researchers and engineers do to improve public perception on UAVs?
- have systems ready when we need them - rescue and help situations.
- PR use good wording, difficulty in communication
- infra-camera used to detact small deers in the gras when harvesting
- deliver before you communicate
- address public interests where is need: aid firefighters in wood fires (know wind changes), finding lost mountaineers, traffic survaillance.
- Arts
- Multiple views for Movies
- interactive 3D movies, viewer can choose view point in movie
- multi-actor within gaming?
Group 2
