High-speed UAV Delivery System with Non-stop Parcel Handover Using High-speed Visual Control

Although research on physical distribution using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has seen increasingly significant interest, the task of automatically loading a parcel onto a UAV has not been researched adequately. In this study, to design an automatic UAV delivery system, we achieved the task of non-stop handover of a parcel to an airborne UAV. For the handover task, we developed a novel tracking system with high-speed, multi-camera vision using cameras with different frame rates. The proposed system demonstrates that it is feasible to combine both high-speed object tracking (1,000 fps) and distant object tracking.

Is the hook painted with a UV reflective material?

Разработчики из Ishikawa Group Laboratory при Токийском университете представили систему из пары камер с высоким fps и простейшего двухосевого робоманипулятора, способную разместить груз на летящем дроне. Подробнее: robotrends.ru/pub/2022/drony-zagruzyat-na-letu
