A Cooperative Protocol for Vehicle Merging Using Bi-dimensional Artificial Potential Fields

In recent years, platooning solutions like cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) have been deeply studied. It is common in such platooning literature to assume that the vehicles drive on the same lane (longitudinal platooning). At the same time, lateral control during merging maneuvers is commonly addressed as a path planning problem, in...

The First Multimodal Information Based Speech Processing (Misp) Challenge: Data, Tasks, Baselines And Results

In this paper we discuss the rational of the Multi-model Information based Speech Processing (MISP) Challenge, and provide a detailed description of the data recorded, the two evaluation tasks and the corresponding baselines, followed by a summary of submitted systems and evaluation results. The MISP Challenge aims at tack-ling speech processing...

Embedding Adaptive Features in the ArduPilot Control Architecture for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

The operation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is often subject to state-dependent alterations and unstructured uncertainty factors, such as unmodelled dynamics, environmental weather disturbances, aerodynamics gradients, or changes in inertia and mass due to payloads. While a large number of autopilot solutions have been proposed to operate...
