Antipersonnel mines, weapons of cheap manufacture but lethal effect, have a high impact on the population even decades after the conflicts have finished. Here we investigate the use of a chemo-sensing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (cUAV) for demining tasks. We developed a blimp based UAV that is equipped with a broadly tuned metal-thin oxide chemo-sensor. A number of chemical mapping strategies were investigated including two biologically based localization strategies derived from the moth chemical search that can optimize the efficiency of the detection and localization of explosives and therefore be used in the demining process. Additionally, we developed a control layer that allows for both fully autonomous and manual controlled flight, as well as for the scheduling of a fleet of cUAVs. Our results confirm the feasibility of this technology for demining in real-world scenarios and give further support to a biologically based approach where the understanding of biological systems is used to solve difficult engineering problems.

Control Layer

In this study, we propose a distributed swarm control algorithm for an agricultural multiple unmanned aerial vehicle system that enables a single operator to remotely control a multi-unmanned aerial vehicle system. The system has two control layers that consist of a teleoperation layer through which the operator inputs teleoperation commands via a haptic device and an unmanned aerial vehicle control layer through which the motion of unmanned aerial vehicles is controlled by a distributed swarm control algorithm. In the teleoperation layer, the operator controls the desired velocity of the unmanned aerial vehicle by manipulating the haptic device and simultaneously receives the haptic feedback. In the unmanned aerial vehicle control layer, the distributed swarm control consists of the following three control inputs: (1) velocity control of the unmanned aerial vehicle by a teleoperation command, (2) formation control to obtain the desired formation, and (3) collision avoidance control to avoid obstacles. The three controls are input to each unmanned aerial vehicle for the distributed system. The proposed algorithm is implemented in the dynamic simulator using robot operating system and Gazebo, and experimental results using four quadrotor-type unmanned aerial vehicles are presented to evaluate and verify the algorithm.

Results of experimental studying radiation spatial structure of atmosphere background nonuniformities and of an unmanned aerial vehicle being the detection object are presented. The question on a possibility of its detection using optoelectronic systems against the background of a cloudy field in the near IR wavelength range is also considered.
