This paper addressed the challenge of exploring large, unknown, and unstructured industrial environments with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The resulting system combined well-known components and techniques with a new manoeuvre to use a low-cost 2D laser to measure a 3D structure. Our approach combined frontier-based exploration, the Lazy...

This paper presents a three-dimensional path follower implementation for an aerial robot based on the carrot-chasing algorithm. The main objective was to improve the performance of the position controller of the PX4 autopilot when following a list of waypoints. This autopilot is widely used in the aerial robotics community, but we needed to...
