A UAV-based explore-then-exploit system for autonomous indoor facility inspection and scene reconstruction

Chuanxiang Gao et al.

Summary: Traditional indoor facility inspections have limitations in terms of logistics, labor, cost, and safety. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are being considered as a promising alternative for manual inspection, but indoor localization and flight safety pose challenges.

Viewpoint placement for inspection planning

Petra Gospodnetic et al.

Summary: Inspection planning approaches have mainly focused on automatically obtaining optimal viewpoints for covering a given object. However, these plans are difficult to verify and compare to laboratory-developed plans, which has hindered their integration into everyday inspection system development. In this paper, we provide an overview of generate-and-test approaches, evaluate their results for different objects, and compare them to plans created by inspection system development experts. The comparison highlights both the benefits and downsides of automated approaches, and identifies future challenges for making automated inspection planning more applicable.

UAV Path Planning Algorithm Based on Improved Harris Hawks Optimization

Ran Zhang et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a UAV path planning algorithm based on improved Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO). By establishing a 3D mission space model and a flight path cost function, the path planning problem is transformed into a multidimensional function optimization problem. In the improved HHO algorithm, the Cauchy mutation strategy and adaptive weight are introduced to increase population diversity, expand the search space, and improve search ability. In addition, the Sine-cosine Algorithm (SCA) is used to gradually converge to the optimal solution and reduce the possibility of falling into local extremum. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has high optimization accuracy, convergence speed, and robustness, and can generate more optimized path planning results for UAVs.
