Real-time indoor autonomous vehicle test environment
Abstract
To investigate and develop unmanned vehicle systems technologies for autonomous multiagent mission platforms, we are using an indoor multivehicle testbed called real-time indoor autonomous vehicle test environment (RAVEN) to study long-duration multivehicle missions in a controlled environment. Normally, demonstrations of multivehicle coordination and control technologies require that multiple human operators simultaneously manage flight hardware, navigation, control, and vehicle tasking. However, RAVEN simplifies all of these issues to allow researchers to focus, if desired, on the algorithms associated with high-level tasks. Alternatively, RAVEN provides a facility for testing low-level control algorithms on both fixed- and rotary-wing aerial platforms. RAVEN is also being used to analyze and implement techniques for embedding the fleet and vehicle health state (for instance, vehicle failures, refueling, and maintenance) into UAV mission planning. These characteristics facilitate the rapid prototyping of new vehicle configurations and algorithms without requiring a redesign of the vehicle hardware. This article describes the main components and architecture of RAVEN and presents recent flight test results illustrating the applications discussed above.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
