Vision-based Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance University of Zurich Robotics and Perception Dynamic obstacle avoidance is a grand challenge in vision-based drone navigation. The classical mapping-planning-control pipeline might have difficulties when facing dynamic objects. Engineering and Technology, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences Master Thesis, Semester Project

Deep reinforcement learning for collaborative aerial transportation University of Zurich Robotics and Perception Collaborative object transportation using micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) is a promising drone technique. It is challenging from a control perspective, since multiple MAVs are mechanically coupled, imposing hard kinematic constraints. Traditional model-based methods often require linearization of the nonlinear problem which restrains the performance such as transporting speed and the payload. The goal of his project aims at exploring the possibility of using the deep reinforcement learning approach to obtain a centralized control policy for collaborative aerial transportation, which is more efficient than the state-of-the-art methods. The policy will be trained in a simulation environment and then transferred to real-life experiments. Applications should have strong experience in C++, Python. Applicants with reinforcement learning and flight control background are favored. Engineering and Technology, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences Master Thesis, Semester Project
