Abstract
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have received increased interest in the field of mobile robotics. Recently, research in the field of UAVs is also studying their use in space applications and planetary exploration. An example is Ingenuity, the first drone on Mars developed by NASA. This is because a UAV offers a wider area of operation with respect to an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), and it provides the mission with a higher resolution regarding images if compared to a satellite or an orbiter. Moreover, Software in the loop (SITL) simulation of such vehicles is preferred during the development phase since it enables to evaluate the algorithms implemented without making use of a real vehicle and without the risk of damaging the hardware.
This thesis proposes a set of algorithms related to UAV-based planetary exploration
