AE585 Seminar | Navigating Unmanned Aerials Vehicles at Low Altitude

In this talk, we present our recent work on UAV navigation using not one, but multiple GPS receivers, either on the same UAV or across different UAVs fused with other navigational sensors, such as IMUs and vision.

The ever-growing applications of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) require UAVs to navigate at low altitude below 2000 feet. Traditionally, a...
