UAV Arena

Introduction

UAV Arena is a fixed and reconfigurable facility owned by ACENTAURI team at INRIA. This facility was cofunded by AgrifoodTEF.

At ACENTAURI, we have our indoor UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) Arena of size 5 m x 6 m x 7 m. It is a specialized facility designed for the development, testing and demonstration of mobility algorithms for UAVs and AGRs in a controlled indoor environment. It can be considered as a fully controlled facility for preliminary testing of UAV and AGR functionalities.

This facility offers:

  • Data collection via UAVs and AGRs mounted with different sensors
  • Validation of Different Sensors Calibration
  • Building ground truth localization with 12 Cameras for a millimeter (mm) accuracy.
  • Testing and Validation of Localization, Mapping, SLAM, and Navigation Algorithms for UAV, AGR, and their collaboration.
