Intelligent measurement flight mode for UAVs

由于无人机和无人地面车辆等无人机器人系统的优势，这些技术近年来在民用、监视、后勤、环境监测、巡逻和救援任务中得到了广泛应用。这些技术的巨大好处之一是提供安全、快速进入偏远和危险环境的途径。在这种背景下，Avestec技术公司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测危险环境。其中一些传感器，如厚度测量，**需要接近垂直目标表面。目前，视察任务由一名熟练的飞行员手动**执行。然而，在距离物体很近的地方飞行无人机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。**在这个项目中，我们将设计并实现一个控制系统，该系统能够在整个**测量过程中自主地将无人机**导航到目标表面，并使平台以稳定的方式悬停。这个功能将作为一个新的飞行模式来实现。在正常操作期间，**无人机应由一名操作员控制。一旦到达预定距离目标表面，**所需的飞行模式将被激活，超车控制某些操作。在这种模式下，在**不断监测距离的同时，无人机自主接近地面，并在测量过程中保持稳定的位置。提出的解决方案将降低碰撞风险，提高运行的可靠性和安全性。由申请人决定。需要先进的控制系统和复杂的算法来详细实现。鉴于所提出问题的独特和具有挑战性的规格，Avestec技术希望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.
