由于无人驾驶机器人系统的优点，如无人驾驶飞行器和无人驾驶地面车辆，这些技术近年来被广泛应用于民用、监视、物流、环境监测、巡逻和救援任务。提供对偏远和危险环境的安全、快速**访问是这些技术的巨大好处之一。在这种**背景下，Avestec Technologies开发了一种先进的飞行机器人，它携带多个传感器来**检查和监控危险环境。其中一些传感器，如厚度测量，**要求与垂直目标表面非常接近。目前，检查任务是由熟练的飞行员人工**执行的。然而，无人机与目标的近距离飞行是一项高风险的任务。**考虑到飞行机器人的尺寸和重量，飞行员的任何错误都可能导致灾难性的**事件。**在本项目中，我们将设计并实现一个控制系统，能够自主导航无人机**向目标表面**，并在整个测量过程**期间稳定地悬停平台。这一功能将作为一种新的飞行模式实施。在正常操作期间，**无人机应由操作员控制。一旦它到达与目标表面的预定距离，**所需的飞行模式将被激活，取代对某些操作的控制。在这种模式下，无人机在**不断监测其距离的同时，自动接近地面，并在执行测量时以稳定的**位置悬停。建议的解决方案将降低碰撞风险**，并提高操作的可靠性和安全性。归功于申请人。需要先进的控制系统和**复杂的算法来详细说明实现。鉴于拟议问题的独特和具有挑战性的**规格，Avestec Technologies愿意与申请人**和他的研究团队合作，他们在自动化设计和开发方面拥有良好的记录。

Due to the benefits of unmanned robotic systems, such as unmanned aerial**vehicles and unmanned ground vehicles, these technologies have been widely used in civilian, surveillance,**logistics, environmental monitoring, patrolling, and rescue missions in recent years. Providing safe, rapid**access to remote and dangerous environments is among the great benefits of these technologies. In this**context, Avestec Technologies has developed an advanced flying robot that carries multiple sensors to**inspect and monitor hazardous environments. Some of these sensors such as thickness measurements,**require close proximity with the vertical target surfaces. Currently, the inspection mission is manually**conducted by a skilled pilot. However, flying a UAV in a short distance from an object is a high-risk task.**Considering the dimensions and weight of the flying robot, any error by the pilot may result in a catastrophic**incident.**In this project, we will design and implement a control system which is capable of navigating the UAV**towards a target surface autonomously and hover the platform in a stable fashion for the entire period of**the measuring process. This feature will be implemented as a new flight mode. During normal operation,**the UAV should be controlled by an operator. Once it reaches a pre-defined distance from the target surface,**the desired flight mode will be activated, overtaking control of certain operations. In this mode, while**constantly monitoring its distance, the UAV autonomously approaches the surface and hovers in a stable**position while the measurement is being performed. The proposed solution will reduce the risk of collisions**and increases the reliability and safety of operation. Due to the applicant. Advanced control systems and**sophisticated algorithms are needed to elaborate the implementation. Given the unique and challenging**specifications of the proposed problem, Avestec Technologies would like to collaborate with the applicant**and his research team who have a well-established track record in the design and development of automated.
