HUNT framework enables high-speed UAV navigation and tracking

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new framework called HUNT (High-speed UAV Navigation and Tracking) designed for unmanned aerial vehicles operating in unstructured environments. This system allows drones to navigate and track targets simultaneously without relying on global localization, a significant challenge in search and rescue operations. HUNT achieves this by using instantaneous observables like attitude and velocity for reactive flight and seamlessly transitioning to target tracking once a target is detected. Field experiments in diverse settings, including dense forests and container yards, have demonstrated its robust autonomy, outperforming traditional methods. AI

IMPACT Enables autonomous drones for complex search and rescue missions in challenging environments.

    HUNT: High-Speed UAV Navigation and Tracking in Unstructured Environments via Instantaneous Relative Frames

    arXiv:2509.19452v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Search and rescue operations require unmanned aerial vehicles to both traverse unknown unstructured environments at high speed and track targets once detected. Achieving both capabilities under degraded sensing and without…
