Announcement: Tutorial on Autonomous Drones at BTS Conference

Join us on October 3, 2024, for a tutorial titled "Autonomous Drones in GNSS-Denied Operation for Search and Object Manipulation at Sea" presented by the UNIZG-FER team at the BTS Conference. This session will showcase advanced solutions developed for the MBZIRC 2023 competition, focusing on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and their navigation in GNSS-denied maritime environments. Participants will gain insights into enabling algorithms and have the opportunity for hands-on training, including a live demonstration of UAVs picking up small objects using LIDAR positioning feedback for navigation. The tutorial will be led by team members Frano Petric , Marko Car , Matko Orsag , Marijana Peti , Robert Milijaš , Jakob Domislovic , Antun Ivanovic , and Barbara Arbanas Ferreira . https://lnkd.in/eQJz9-bD https://lnkd.in/eszNCWgw

Filip Zorić Completes Exchange at Robotics and Mechatronics Group, University of Twente

Filip Zoric has recently completed his exchange at the Robotics and Mechatronics Group at the University of Twente . During his visit, Filip focused on testing the ability of the control structure to track reference trajectories with an aerial vehicle, a critical component for enabling effective physical aerial interaction. Throughout his visit, he conducted numerous experiments, refining the control algorithms and evaluating their performance in real-world scenarios. His work represents a significant step forward in the development of advanced aerial manipulation systems. This research is integral to his ongoing efforts to develop an AI-enhanced Human Aerial Manipulator Interface for service and maintenance tasks. This exchange was supported in part by the Croatian Science Foundation through the Outbound Mobility of Research Assistants (MOBDOK-2023) program. We extend our congratulations to Filip for his valuable contributions and successful completion of this research phase.
