Péter Bauer, Ph.D.
Introduction
Péter BAUER received his MSc in aerospace engineering in 2005 and PhD in mechanical engineering sciences in 2013 at Budapest University of Technolgy and Economics (BME), Faculty of Transportation Engineering. His main research field is the application of electro-optical sensors in aerial vehicle navigation including sensor fault detection, navigation in case of GPS outages and aircraft sense and avoid systems. His related research is reference signal tracking solutions and their application to aerial vehicle control (unmanned aicraft and multicopter drones). He also deals with sensor calibration, nonlinear state estimation and planning of flight test experiences. His new topics are ground and aerial vehicle cooperative control and multicopter system identification. He takes part in aerospace engineering related projects in the institute including EU H2020 projects, the work of the Autonomous Systems National Laboratory, GINOP projects and a long and successful scientific cooperation with University of Minnesota. This latter now focused on the fault detection and reconfiguration of a small UAV. He also dealt with the control of hybrid solar vehicles and the modelling of highway traffic considering driver behaviour as a PhD student at BME. His new topic is mono camera-based collision detection in automotive applications.
