An Integrated Adaptive Control System for Obstacle Detection and Online Speed Adaptation of Autonomous Drones

This video demonstration paper presents an integrated adaptive control system for obstacle detection and online speed adaptation of autonomous drones. It addresses the challenges of controlling drones for obstacle avoidance. The results demonstrate that the control system allows our drone to detect obstacles using LIDAR sensors. It can learn autonomously in real-time, adjusting its flying speed as it approaches obstacles to ensure a safe flight. Furthermore, the drone can deal with unexpected static and moving obstacles in different outdoor environments, both during the day and at night.
