Multimodal data like RGB images, depth images, thermal images, Lidar measurements are vital for autonomous systems like aerial robots. The UAV, especially small UAV robots, are limited by sensors and computers weight, so new approaches for data fusion and data preprocessing are necessary. The specialised HW accelerators for Deep NN can be used together with improved data fusion methods.

Design of new algorithms and techniques for onboard localization of autonomous aerial robots. The algorithms have to use only sensors, that are suitable for aerial robots. Another limit comes from limited computation power and storage sources of aerial robots.
