Reducing the use of pesticides by early visual detection of diseases in precision agriculture is important. Because of the color similarity between potato-plant diseases, narrow band hyper-spectral imaging is required. Payload constraints on unmanned aerial vehicles require reduc- tion of spectral bands. …

Recently, the use of military robots – which may be drones, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), remotely piloted systems, autonomous weapon systems or ‘killer robots’ – has been debated in the media, politics, and academia.

A heated international debate is taking place about the innovation, development, and deployment of automated military technology, such as remotely-controlled aerial vehicles. Recently, the scope of the debate is extended to the moral concerns about (future) automated technology possibly able to make …

Er is onderzoek gedaan naar een alternatieve lokalisering methode op basis van het Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) principe. Dit is een methode waarbij een 3D model van de bezochte omgeving wordt gebouwd en waar vervolgens het systeem in gelokaliseerd kan worden. Hiervoor is een sensor nodig …
