FLISP enables cooperative tunnel inspection with synchronized UGV-UAV path planning

Researchers have developed FLISP, a novel path planning framework designed for cooperative inspection missions involving ground and aerial robots in challenging environments like hydropower tunnels. This mapless system utilizes a single LiDAR-IMU sensor suite to synchronize path generation for both the UGV and UAV. FLISP employs specialized algorithms for each platform, ensuring obstacle avoidance for the ground robot and dynamic flight path optimization for the drone, achieving a 100% success rate with significantly reduced latency compared to traditional methods. AI

IMPACT This framework could improve the efficiency and safety of robotic inspections in complex, feature-degraded environments.

    Large-Scale Tunnel Air-Ground Collaboration With FLISP: Fast LiDAR-IMU Synchronized Path Planner

    Hydropower tunnel inspection is critical for infrastructure integrity yet remains inefficient and hazardous using manual methods. We propose FLISP (Fast LiDAR-IMU Synchronized Path Planner), a mapless planning framework for cooperative UGV-UAV inspection. Unlike traditional map-b…
