Abstract
We propose an autonomous control system for Aerial Service Vehicles capable of performing inspection tasks in buildings and industrial plants. In this paper, we present the applicative domain, the high-level control architecture along with some empirical results. The system has been assessed on real-world and simulated scenarios representing an industrial environment.
The research leading to these results has been supported by the AIRobots and SHERPA FP7 projects under grant agreements ICT-248669 and ICT-600958 respectively.
