Autonomous airship for indoor inspections
Project description
Efficient use of Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in terms of flying time and having them work autonomously for monitoring in accelerator tunnels and other hostile environments, and at the same time avoiding contaminated dust being moved into different facilities regions. We are taking into account the radioactive environment and are improving the performance of positioning systems for autonomous navigation, operation, sensors and processing of collected data. We see that the results obtained are of interest to the research infrastructures ESS and MAX IV, which also expresses the need for autonomous radiation inspection.
