DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Autonomous drones are emerging as a powerful new bree
 d of mobile sensing platform. Small embedded computers that move almost un
 constrained while carrying rich sensor payloads\, such as cameras and micr
 ophones\, bring sensing where no other technology can reach. Notwithstandi
 ng recent advancements\, the current use of drone technology is often limi
 ted to manual control of individual devices by skilled individuals. The ga
 p between this and large-scale autonomous operation remains significant. T
 he challenges span diverse disciplines\, from computer science and enginee
 ring up to regulatory and legal aspects. In this talk\, we discuss the res
 earch efforts we are carrying out to overcome some of these challenges. Ou
 r work includes programming and operating systems\, flight control\, as we
 ll as realistic experimentation and is constantly fed by real-world deploy
 ments we carry out in a range of application domains\, including aerial ph
 otogrammetry and 3D reconstruction.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Rice University EC

X-ALT-DESC:Description: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Abstract:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp\;Autonomou
 s drones are emerging as a powerful new breed of mobile sensing platform. 
 Small embedded computers that move almost unconstrained while carrying ric
 h sensor payloads\, such as cameras and microphones\, bring sensing where 
 no other technology can reach. Notwithstanding recent advancements\, the c
 urrent use of drone technology is often limited to manual control of indiv
 idual devices by skilled individuals. The gap between this and large-scale
  autonomous operation remains significant. The challenges span diverse dis
 ciplines\, from computer science and engineering up to regulatory and lega
 l aspects. In this talk\, we discuss the research efforts we are carrying 
 out to overcome some of these challenges. Our work includes programming an
 d operating systems\, flight control\, as well as realistic experimentatio
 n and is constantly fed by real-world deployments we carry out in a range 
 of application domains\, including aerial photogrammetry and 3D reconstruc
 tion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agenda: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Speaker: Luca Mottola (Politechnico
