Title: Design and implementation of the new navigation algorithms

Brief description of the problem

The essential tool for the upcoming Earth Observation tasks is unmanned systems. These systems need high-quality navigation and planning algorithm which needs to be dynamically altered to the current situation.

A number of open-source solution for navigation tasks currently exist. We use the Pixhawk autopilot system for example, which is a good standard for the next development.

Task for a student in the SOCIS program

Student task is to develop software path planning algorithms capable to dynamically react on the current position and velocity limits of unmanned aircraft. Evaluation of developed algorithms against the existing solutions should be proposed and developed algorithm will be used in an Earth observation mission.

Requirements

  • Python, C/C++
  • Experience/knowledge of Artificial Intelligence
  • Experience with planning algorithms

Expected results

Accepted pull-request to the upstream repository of autopilot framework. Containing improved navigation and path planning algorithms.
