Markerless Indoor Localization of a Drone without GNSS
The drone used at the AerodrOHM currently localizes via external markers. The goal is a markerless, GNSS-free indoor localization using only onboard sensors (visual-inertial odometry / SLAM), building on the existing platform.
Drone Charging Setup – Automated Wireless Charging of Micro-Drones
Development of an automated charging setup for Crazyflie drones: precise landing planning on wireless charging pads, mechanical adaptation via 3D printing, and integration into the automated swarm operation.
Drone Light Painting – Coordinated Light Image Generation with Micro-Drones
Coordinated light image generation with Crazyflie drone swarms through predefined flight patterns and long-exposure photography. Trajectory planning, collision avoidance and synchronisation at AerodrOHM.
Drone Swarm Obstacle Avoidance – Collision-Free Navigation of Micro-Drones
Development of a system for collision-free navigation of Crazyflie drone swarms using an external 3D camera, ROS integration and reactive swarm behaviour. Testing in the AerodrOHM flight space.
