Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are recognized as very useful tools to replace, help, or assist humans in various missions, such inspection and monitoring, surveillance, search rescue, exploration, logistics transportation, etc [...]

The focus of our research is to improve navigation capabilities of an offroad unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) by improving its perception range. We train an ortophoto classifier by using data gathered by UGV and then extrapolate the data into wider area by using aerial imagery from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). The current progress report analyses feasibility of using satellite images instead o...

This paper introduces our robotic system named UGAV (Unmanned Ground-Air Vehicle) consisting of two semi-autonomous robot platforms, an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) and an Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). The paper focuses on three topics of the inspection with the combined UGV and UAV: (A) teleoperated control by means of cell or smart phones with a new concept of automatic configuration of th...

This thesis deals with distributed cohesive control of swarms of dimensionless particles and applicability of this approach for using with swarms of micro aerial vehicles. I have implemented a set of algorithms presented in [11] that leads to the cohesive swarm behavior of ground robots in a plane and extended these algorithms to 3D space for control of unmanned aerial vehicles. The behavior of...

With the continuous development of maritime economy, unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) and aerial (UAVs) have become important parts transportation system. Unmanned play a pivotal role in water safety management, offshore patrol rescue. Consequently, this article researches develops an vehicle–unmanned vehicle (UAV-USV) coupling system with multiple functions. The ship body module, deformation m...
