"Developing a ROS Enabled Full Autonomous Quadrotor"

Details and Extracurriculars
  • The aim of this Master Thesis will be to develop a fully ROS enabled quadrotor and demonstrate the
    capabilities of the platform on a realistic flight scenario. ROS (Robotic Operating System) is an open
    source distributed robotics platform designed to accelerate robotic research and development by
    supporting reusable and modular components able to implement a variety of low and high level
    functionalities, while during the last 3 years it has received significant attention from the scientific
    community, as the most prestigious research groups in the area of robotics are putting efforts in
    this field.

    The open source approach and the vast amount of ROS libraries are setting a novel approach in
    designing robotic applications, especially for the cases that fast development and proof of concept
    is needed at the early stages. For every new robotic application the robotic engineer should be able
    to understand the fundamental properties of ROS, synthesize the existing modular functionalities
    and develop the additional ones where it is needed, a task that demands a very good knowledge of
    the system under development as also very good programming skills. Although there are currently
    a few examples of ROS enabled UAVs still there a lot of efforts needed to optimize the flight
    performance with respect to the selected flight platform, the onboard sensors, the application
    scenario and the environmental condition, while the most complete ROS enable quadrotor platform
    has been demonstrated indoors with localization cameras in the Penn University.
