Smart Hangar

The Smart Hangar Project aims at addressing the Defence Challenge  on "Cyber-physical system to assist in, or potentially automate, manoeuvring of aircraft between a hangar and apron".

 

The UAV should move from the initial point to the final one.

Active Perception

The aim of this research is to determine robot’s actions that minimizes the estimation uncertainty that affects the robot sensors and actuators, in order to optimize the robot localization.
