Auto-Navigation for Urban Air Mobility
Project Period: 16. 4. 2019 – 30. 7. 2019
Project Type: contract
Partner: Honeywell, spol. s r.o.
drones, navigation, visual odometry, IMU, simultaneous localization and mapping,
sensor fusion
Drones and Urban Air Mobility are on the rise and expected to achieve an
applicable level of maturity by the end of year 2025. Therefore, technology
enabling safe, fast and efficient aerial transport of cargo or passengers is
needed. The concept of operation of such airborne platforms requires navigation
solutions overcoming temporary loss of the Global Navigation Satellite System
(GNSS) and improved navigation performance in vertical axis. Hence, the objective
of the Project is to obtain an extension of the navigation system using visual
sensors and understand how such sensors are optimally integrated with inertial
sensors and GNSS.
