On August 16, we organized a scientific seminar on “Creating a Consistent Framework for Research on Drones“. David Müller, a PhD student at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, led the seminar, which was organized in the framework of the FrontSeat project as part of the seminar series on “Research Seminar on Smart Cybernetics.”

Abstract:
Testing new control strategies in real-world scenarios often leads to unforeseen complications that cannot be modeled in simulations due to their high complexity. UAVs are subject to a variety of different complex disturbances that can induce unexpected behavior. Due to their system-related instability, this behavior often leads to crashes and the associated total loss of the UAV, especially when testing new control strategies. To mitigate both costs and risks to third parties, it is preferable to conduct preliminary tests of new control strategies on small UAVs in controlled indoor environments prior to deploying them on larger UAVs in outdoor scenarios. Therefore, it is crucial to utilize UAVs that share identical flight software and identical sensors across different scales.


This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon under grant no. 101079342 (Fostering Opportunities Towards Slovak Excellence in Advanced Control for Smart Industries).
