Deep Reinforcement Learning Based Autonomous Decision‐Making for Cooperative Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles: A Search and Rescue Real World Application

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents the first end‐to‐end framework that combines guidance, navigation, and centralized task allocation for multiple UAVs performing autonomous search‐and‐rescue (SAR) in GNSS‐denied indoor environments. A twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient controller is trained with an artificial potential field (APF) reward that ...

Airborne Lidar: A Tutorial for 2025 : Part I: Lidar basics

open access: yes
Since the beginning of the 21st century, airborne lidar (light detection and ranging) has entirely revolutionized topographic data acquisition. National mapping agencies around the globe have quickly adopted this active remote sensing technology and ...

Comparison of Airborne Water Vapor Lidar Observations with ECMWF Analyses and first Assimilation Experiments

open access: yes, 2006
Water vapor is the most important greenhouse gas and controls cloud formation and the evolution of weather systems. As its tropospheric concentration may rapidly vary over four orders of magnitude, accurate monitoring of water vapor, especially in the ...

Automated Lawn Maintenance: An Agronomic and Operational Review of Turf Health, Biodiversity, and Field Performance

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grass mowing is one of the most resource‐consuming activities in green maintenance, whether in private areas such as home gardens or in public spaces like urban parks. In recent years, concerns related to climate change, human health, and sustainability have become increasingly prominent in green maintenance, leading manufacturers and industry

Outracing a National Level Model Racing Car Champion: A Hybrid Model‐Based Data‐Driven Approach

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper discusses lap time optimization, focusing on a single lap without considering opponents in autonomous racing. The paper presents a control and optimization architecture composed of a model‐based low level controller and a higher level iterative learning algorithm with the goal of obtaining the fastest qualifying lap in autonomous ...

Strategies for Assessing Post‐Wildfire Geomorphic Resilience in Semiarid Rivers

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We review and summarize diverse components of a catchment that can be monitored after wildfire to assess the geomorphic resilience of the river corridor in semiarid regions. We distinguish upland portions of river catchments from river corridors.
