The world is becoming more digitized with the rise of modular robotic systems. Therefore,
with the increasing demands and needs for robotics, the modular robotic domain was …

During the previous years, one of the biggest challenges in the field of unconventional
drones is the control of these systems due to their special shape and morphological …

Abstract Modular Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can adapt to rapidly changing payload
requirements based on the shape and weight of the load by adding or subtracting units …

This paper presents a new design of aerial vehicles with tetrahedral geometry. We call this
design the TetraQuad. The TetraQuad is a fractal modular aerial robot. A characteristic of …

This paper addresses the need for autonomous Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) landing in
unstructured environments. For aerial robotics to become truly ubiquitous, the requirement …

In this work we address the System-of-Systems reassembling operation of a marsupial team
comprising a hybrid Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and a Legged Locomotion robot, relying …

Micro tandem bi-copters are capable of passing through narrow gaps owing to their
particular slender shape. However, the introduction of the tilting servo motors leads to a non …

Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) provide a versatile
platform well-suited to applications requiring the efficiency of fixed-wing flight with the …

In this work we deal with the problem of establishing a system architecture to facilitate the
real-time autonomous volumetric mapping alongside the semantic characterization of …

The theory and implementation of a set of alternate auxiliary locomotion modes are
presented for an amphibious fixed-wing VTOL UAV. In real-world conditions and …
