AR.Drone 2.0 state estimation using Dynamic Expectation Maximization: Bringing brain perception theory to practice

Recent developments in neuroscience research, mainly introduced by neuroscientist Karl J. Friston, have resulted in a concept called the Free Energy Principle (FEP). The FEP is a brain theory unifying action, perception and learning. An important observation is that autonomous robots have to perform similar tasks to the human brain. Therefore,...

Motion Reference Unit Testing Platform: Software

The Motion Reference Unit (MRU) is an important component in the Ampelmann Operation B.V. systems. In order to assess the performance of different MRUs a test system is developed. By using a one Degree of Freedom rail, wave motions can be simulated in the sway, surge and heave direction of a ship. The test system is divided in three parts:...
