Abstract Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become essential tools for exploring, mapping and inspection of unknown three-dimensional (3D) tunnel-like environments which is a very challenging problem. A computationally light navigation algorithm is developed in this paper for quadrotor UAVs to autonomously guide the vehicle through such environments. It uses sensors observations to safely guide the UAV along the tunnel axis while avoiding collisions with its walls. The approach is evaluated using several computer simulations with realistic sensing models and practical implementation with a quadrotor UAV. The proposed method is also applicable to other UAV types and autonomous underwater vehicles.

This article presents the development of a visual-servo filming robot for dolly & truck style camera movement in filming applications. The robot was implemented with a fast-response slider as the upper stage on top of the slow-response tracked robot body as the lower stage, to improve target tracking performance. A new switching controller was developed, which controlled the stages’ motions by balancing and adjusting the weights of vision error and slider’s noncentering error of the upper stage, thus achieving tracking performance better than the traditional master–slave control strategy. The simulations were carried out to evaluate the tracking performance of the model, particularly focusing on evaluating how the dual stage improves the overall response of the model. The similar evaluation was executed experimentally as well. Both results confirm that the fast-response characteristics of the upper stage can compensate the slow dynamics of lower stage, the tracked robot which is inevitably heavy due to its composition.
