Our approach, which outperformed competing methods, involved a two-stage innovative methodology. Initially, it entailed reconstructing the search area optimally for obstacle avoidance. This was followed by enabling the 3D inspection of the infrastructure (both outdoors and indoors) through a cooperative control scheme that jointly optimized guidance and camera controls of multiple aerial robots. <em><strong>Our approach earned us the top spot among 19 international teams. The solutions were evaluated by the organizing committee, comprising five experts in the field, with criteria including inspection quality, infrastructure coverage, and execution time.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#2a60ea\" class=\"has-inline-color\">March 7, 2024<\/mark><\/strong><br><\/em>Our GLIMPSE paper entitled &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kios.ucy.ac.cy\/glimpse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/safeprocess2024.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hierarchical Fault-Tolerant Coverage Control for an Autonomous Aerial Agent<\/a>&#8220;, has been accepted at the 12th IFAC Symposium on Fault Detection, Supervision, and Safety of Technical Processes (SAFEPROCESS 2024) , 4-7 June, Ferrara, Italy, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#2a60ea\" class=\"has-inline-color\">April 6, 2024<\/mark><\/strong><br><\/em>Our GLIMPSE paper entitled &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/abs\/2404.12018\">Automated Real-Time Inspection in Indoor and Outdoor 3D Environments with Cooperative Aerial Robots<\/a>&#8220;, has been accepted for publication in the proceedings of the 2024 International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (ICUAS), 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April 1, 2022GLIMPSE Started !
