title: Omnidirectional bearing-only see-and-avoid for small aerial robots: creator: Mejias Alvarez, Luis creator: Mondragon Bernal, Ivan Fernando creator: Campoy Cervera, Pascual subject: Robotics and Industrial Computing description: Motivated by the growing interest in unmanned aerial system's applications in indoor and outdoor settings and the standardisation of visual sensors as vehicle payload. This work presents a collision avoidance approach based on omnidirectional cameras that does not require the estimation of range between two platforms to resolve a collision encounter. It will achieve a minimum separation between the two vehicles involved by maximising the view-angle given by the omnidirectional sensor. Only visual information is used to achieve avoidance under a bearing-only visual servoing approach. We provide theoretical problem formulation, as well as results from real flight using small quadrotors publisher: E.T.S.I.
