商品描述

This book presents the astonishing potential of deep sensorimotor policies for agile vision-based quadrotor flight. Quadrotors are among the most agile and dynamic machines ever created. However, developing fully autonomous quadrotors that can approach or even outperform the agility of birds or human drone pilots with only onboard sensing and computing is challenging and still unsolved.

Deep sensorimotor policies, generally trained in simulation, enable autonomous quadrotors to fly faster and more agile than what was possible before. While humans and birds still have the advantage over drones, the author shows the current research gaps and discusses possible future solutions.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書展示了深度感知運動策略在基於視覺的四旋翼飛行中的驚人潛力。四旋翼是有史以來最靈活和動態的機器之一。然而,開發能夠僅依賴機載感測和計算來接近甚至超越鳥類或人類無人機駕駛員靈活性的完全自主四旋翼仍然具有挑戰性,且尚未解決。

深度感知運動策略通常在模擬環境中訓練,使自主四旋翼能夠比以往更快、更靈活地飛行。儘管人類和鳥類在無人機上仍然具有優勢,作者指出了當前的研究空白並討論了可能的未來解決方案。

作者簡介

Antonio Loquercio is a robotics scientist and engineer originally from Naples, Italy. He is a recipient of the ETH Medal for outstanding master thesis and the Georges Giralt Ph.D. award, the most prestigious prize for a European dissertation in robotics. He is known for his research on high-performance agile robotics, particularly for drones and legged robots. Growing up in the countryside near Rome, he was always fascinated by the wonders of nature. The desire to understand and recreate such wonders motivated him to embark on a career in robotics. He was an undergraduate at the University of Rome, Tor Vergata, where he studied mechanical and electrical engineering. Afterward, he moved to Zurich, Switzerland, where he was first a master's and then a graduate student at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) and the University of Zurich. He is currently a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, Berkeley. He has contributed more than 20 scientific papers in robotics and computer vision. His works were awarded several recognitions, including the best system paper award at the conference on robot learning, the best paper award honorable mention at the conference Robotics: Science and Systems, and the Transaction on Robotics Best Paper Award honorable mention.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

安東尼奧·洛夸爾喬(Antonio Loquercio)是一位來自義大利那不勒斯的機器人科學家和工程師。他獲得了ETH獎章,以表彰其傑出的碩士論文,以及喬治·吉拉爾特(Georges Giralt)博士獎,這是歐洲機器人學論文中最具聲望的獎項。他以高性能敏捷機器人,特別是無人機和腿部機器人的研究而聞名。成長於羅馬附近的鄉村,他一直對大自然的奇觀感到著迷。理解和重現這些奇觀的渴望促使他踏上機器人學的職業生涯。他曾在羅馬大學托爾維爾加(University of Rome, Tor Vergata)攻讀機械和電氣工程的本科學位。之後,他移居瑞士蘇黎世,先後在瑞士聯邦理工學院(ETH)和蘇黎世大學攻讀碩士和博士學位。目前,他是加州大學伯克利分校的博士後研究員。他在機器人學和計算機視覺領域發表了超過20篇科學論文。他的作品獲得了多項榮譽,包括機器人學習會議的最佳系統論文獎、機器人學:科學與系統會議的最佳論文獎榮譽提名,以及《機器人學交易》最佳論文獎榮譽提名。
