Adaptive Control and Active Vision for Autonomous Aircraft
Eric Johnson, Georgia Tech
Today, autonomous systems are far less reliable or capable than their manned counterparts. This talk covers two approaches to “get back” some of the capability lost when attempting to operate an aircraft without a pilot on board. First, the ability of a human pilot to adapt to changes in the flight characteristics of an aircraft is addressed with advances in adaptive flight control methods. Second, the utilization of vision sensors for guidance, navigation, and control is explored. This will include descriptions of theory and algorithms, as will flight test and demonstration of autonomous aircraft with these new capabilities.
