Intelligent measurement flight mode for UAVs

由于无人驾驶机器人系统（如无人驾驶飞行器和无人驾驶地面车辆）的优点，近年来这些技术已广泛用于民用、监视、后勤、环境监测、巡逻和救援任务。这些技术的巨大好处之一是为偏远和危险的环境提供安全、快速的访问。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。这些传感器中的一些，例如厚度测量，** 需要与垂直目标表面非常接近。目前，检查使命是由一名熟练的飞行员手动 ** 进行的。然而，在距离物体较短的距离内驾驶无人机是一项高风险任务。考虑到飞行机器人的尺寸和重量，飞行员的任何失误都可能导致灾难性的事故。在这个项目中，我们将设计和实现一个控制系统，该系统能够自主地将无人机 ** 导航到目标表面，并在整个测量过程中以稳定的方式悬停平台。该功能将作为新的飞行模式实施。在正常操作期间，** 无人机应由操作员控制。一旦它到达目标表面的预定义距离，** 所需的飞行模式将被激活，超越某些操作的控制。在这种模式下，当 ** 不断监测其距离时，无人机自主接近表面并在执行测量时悬停在稳定的 ** 位置。建议的解决方案将减少碰撞风险 **，并提高操作的可靠性和安全性。由于申请人。先进的控制系统和 ** 复杂的算法需要精心实施。鉴于所提出问题的独特和具有挑战性的 ** 规格，Avestec Technologies希望与申请人 ** 及其研究团队合作，他们在自动化的设计和开发方面有着良好的记录。

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.
