Participation of CTU in Prague at the MBZIRC 2017 competition

04 Apr 2017   12:45-14:15

Participation of Czech Technical University in Prague at the MBZIRC 2017 competition: system description, lessons learned, deployment of the system beyond the MBZIRC

The aim of the presentation is to share experience gained during our participation at the Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge (MBZIRC), where our team won gold medal in the third challenge, silver medal in the first challenge and bronze medal in the GRAND-challenge. MBZIRC (http://mbzirc.com/) is an international robotics competition organized every two years in Abu Dhabi by Sheikh Hamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan with total prize and team sponsorship of USD 5 Million, which attracts the best robotic universities in the world (143 teams applied for participation in the contest). Our team primarily participated in the Challenge 1, autonomous landing of a helicopter (UAV) on a moving vehicle, and the Challenge 3, in which three cooperating UAVs search, locate, track, pick and place a set of static and moving objects.

In the first part of the talk, a short introduction into the system (SW and HW) will be provided with a focus on the novel onboard model predictive control-based trajectory tracker and state automata designed to solve the Challenges 1 and 3 of the competition. In the second part, the experimental deployment of our MBZIRC platform in other research projects will be shown. Finally, plans for further exploitation of the achieved results and consequent research directions will be discussed.
