    • Autonomous Aerial Recovery: Fixed-wing UAV Ballistic Airdrop and Deep-Stall Landing 

      Mathisen, Siri Gulaker (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:61, Doctoral thesis, 2020)
      Although human beings don’t have wings, it is often very useful to fly. Or at least to use the air to transport objects. Sometimes these objects have to be delivered on normally unreachable places under difficult conditions, ...

    • Autonomous ballistic airdrop of objects from a small fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle 

      Mathisen, Siri Gulaker; Leira, Frederik Stendahl; Helgesen, Håkon Hagen; Gryte, Kristoffer; Johansen, Tor Arne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Autonomous airdrop is a useful basic operation for a fixed-wing unmanned aerial system. Being able to deliver an object to a known target position extends operational range without risking human lives, but is still limited ...

    • Autonomous Bicycle 

      Brekke, Snorre Eskeland (Master thesis, 2010)
      The autonomous bike was conceived by Jens G. Balchen back in the eighties, and later picked up by Amund Skavhaug. The idea of a two-wheeled, self-powered, yet riderless bike has since been pursued intermittently over the ...

    • Autonomous Bicycle: The First Self Balanced Ride 

      Ånnestad, Dag Christian (Master thesis, 2011)
      The idea of an autonomous bicycle originates from Jens G. Balchen who wanted to make an unmanned autonomous bicycle. The idea was picked up by Amund Skavhaug who extended the idea with the concept of using an inverted ...

      This paper contributes a method designed to enable autonomous distributed 3D nuclear radiation field mapping. The algorithm uses a single radiation sensor and a sequence of spatially distributed and robotically acquired ...

    • Autonomous Docking Control System for the Otter USV: A Machine Learning Approach 

      Bjering Strand, Henrik (Master thesis, 2020)
      Denne masteroppgaven utforsker muligheten for å bruke dyp forsterkende læring (eng. deep reinforcement learning, DRL) til å utvikle et autonomt dokkingsystem for en underaktuert overflatefarkost. Autonome marine fartøy er ...

    • Autonomous docking using direct optimal control 

      Martinsen, Andreas Bell; Lekkas, Anastasios M.; Gros, Sebastien (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      We propose a method for performing autonomous docking of marine vessels using numerical optimal control. The task is framed as a dynamic positioning problem, with the addition of spatial constraints that ensure collision ...

    • Autonomous Drifting of a 1:5 Scale Model Car 

      Jakobsen, Jakob Lieng (Master thesis, 2011)
      Current automotive safety systems restrict the vehicle to the linear region of operation where the sideslip angle is small. Recent research in the field has discovered that drifting possesses unstable equilibria in which ...

    • Autonomous Drilling Using Reinforcement Learning 

      Sjøvold, Eivind (Master thesis, 2021)
      Prosessen bak brønnboring krever store investeringer. Optimalisering av operasjonelle parametere med den henskikt å maksimere borerate(eng:rate of penetration (ROP)) er derfor et naturlig diskusjonstema. Optimalisering av ...
