Visually guided control of micro aerial vehicles (MAV) demands for robust real-time perception, fast trajectory generation, and a capable flight platform. We present a fully autonomous MAV that is able to pop balloons, relying only on onboard sensing and computing. The system is evaluated with real robot experiments during the Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge (MBZIRC) 2020 where it showed its resilience and speed. In all three competition runs we were able to pop all five balloons in less than two minutes flight time with a single MAV.

Constructing large structures with robots is a challenging task with many potential applications that requires mobile manipulation capabilities. We present two systems for autonomous wall building that we developed for the Mohamed Bin Zayed Internati
onal Robotics Challenge 2020. Both systems autonomously perceive their environment, find bricks, and build a predefined wall structure. While the UGV uses a 3D LiDAR-based perception system which measures brick poses with high precision, the UAV employs a real-time camera-based system for visual servoing. We report results and insights from our successful participation at the MBZIRC 2020 Finals, additional lab experiments, and discuss the lessons learned from the competition.
Every day, burning buildings threaten the lives of occupants and first responders trying to save them. Quick action is of essence, but some areas might not be accessible or too dangerous to enter. Robotic systems have become a promising addition to f
irefighting, but at this stage, they are mostly manually controlled, which is error-prone and requires specially trained personal. We present two systems for autonomous firefighting from air and ground we developed for the Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge (MBZIRC) 2020. The systems use LiDAR for reliable localization within narrow, potentially GNSS-restricted environments while maneuvering close to obstacles. Measurements from LiDAR and thermal cameras are fused to track fires, while relative navigation ensures successful extinguishing. We analyze and discuss our successful participation during the MBZIRC 2020, present further experiments, and provide insights into our lessons learned from the competition.
Autonomous robotic systems for various applications including transport, mobile manipulation, and disaster response are becoming more and more complex. Evaluating and analyzing such systems is challenging. Robotic competitions are designed to benchma
rk complete robotic systems on complex state-of-the-art tasks. Participants compete in defined scenarios under equal conditions. We present our UGV solution developed for the Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge 2020. Our hard- and software components to address the challenge tasks of wall building and fire fighting are integrated into a fully autonomous system. The robot consists of a wheeled omnidirectional base, a 6 DoF manipulator arm equipped with a magnetic gripper, a highly efficient storage system to transport box-shaped objects, and a water spraying system to fight fires. The robot perceives its environment using 3D LiDAR as well as RGB and thermal camera-based perception modules, is capable of picking box-shaped objects and constructing a pre-defined wall structure, as well as detecting and localizing heat sources in order to extinguish potential fires. A high-level planner solves the challenge tasks using the robot skills. We analyze and discuss our successful participation during the MBZIRC 2020 finals, present further experiments, and provide insights to our lessons learned.
It is challenging for humans -- particularly those living with physical disabilities -- to control high-dimensional, dexterous robots. Prior work explores learning embedding functions that map a humans low-dimensional inputs (e.g., via a joystick) to
complex, high-dimensional robot actions for assistive teleoperation; however, a central problem is that there are many more high-dimensional actions than available low-dimensional inputs. To extract the correct action and maximally assist their human controller, robots must reason over their context: for example, pressing a joystick down when interacting with a coffee cup indicates a different action than when interacting with knife. In this work, we develop assistive robots that condition their latent embeddings on visual inputs. We explore a spectrum of visual encoders and show that incorporating object detectors pretrained on small amounts of cheap, easy-to-collect structured data enables i) accurately and robustly recognizing the current context and ii) generalizing control embeddings to new objects and tasks. In user studies with a high-dimensional physical robot arm, participants leverage this approach to perform new tasks with unseen objects. Our results indicate that structured visual representations improve few-shot performance and are subjectively preferred by users.
Insects use visual cues to control their flight behaviours. By estimating the angular velocity of the visual stimuli and regulating it to a constant value, honeybees can perform a terrain following task which keeps the certain height above the undula
ted ground. For mimicking this behaviour in a bio-plausible computation structure, this paper presents a new angular velocity decoding model based on the honeybees behavioural experiments. The model consists of three parts, the texture estimation layer for spatial information extraction, the motion detection layer for temporal information extraction and the decoding layer combining information from pervious layers to estimate the angular velocity. Compared to previous methods on this field, the proposed model produces responses largely independent of the spatial frequency and contrast in grating experiments. The angular velocity based control scheme is proposed to implement the model into a bee simulated by the game engine Unity. The perfect terrain following above patterned ground and successfully flying over irregular textured terrain show its potential for micro unmanned aerial vehicles terrain following.
