论文摘要
这项工作旨在表明，在室内与人类一起使用一群无人驾驶汽车（UAV）是可行和安全的。无人机越来越多地集成在行业4.0框架下。无人机群主要在民用和军事应用中部署在户外，但是在制造和供应链管理中使用它们的机会是巨大的。关于无人机技术，例如本地化，控制和计算机愿景有广泛的研究，但对无人机在行业中的实际应用的研究较少。无人机技术可以改善数据收集和监视，增强物联网框架中的决策，并在行业中自动化耗时和冗余的任务。但是，无人机的技术发展与它们融入供应链之间存在差距。因此，这项工作着重于自动执行与人类一起运行的小型无人机运输包装的任务。 MOCAP系统，ROS和Unity用于本地化，过程间通信和可视化。在像环境这样的仓库中，在徘徊和群模式下使用UAV进行多个实验。
This work aims at showing that it is feasible and safe to use a swarm of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) indoors alongside humans. UAVs are increasingly being integrated under the Industry 4.0 framework. UAV swarms are primarily deployed outdoors in civil and military applications, but the opportunities for using them in manufacturing and supply chain management are immense. There is extensive research on UAV technology, e.g., localization, control, and computer vision, but less research on the practical application of UAVs in industry. UAV technology could improve data collection and monitoring, enhance decision-making in an Internet of Things framework and automate time-consuming and redundant tasks in the industry. However, there is a gap between the technological developments of UAVs and their integration into the supply chain. Therefore, this work focuses on automating the task of transporting packages utilizing a swarm of small UAVs operating alongside humans. MoCap system, ROS, and unity are used for localization, inter-process communication and visualization. Multiple experiments are performed with the UAVs in wander and swarm mode in a warehouse like environment.
