This work presents a novel Aspect Ratio-Modular Vertical Take-Off and Landing (ARM-
VTOL) aerial robot, which is a meta-aircraft composed of two or more TiltRotor hybrid aircraft …

This work addresses the problem of self-sufficient long-term operation of UAVs in the context
of multi-day mission profiles, by proposing the key innovation of onboard solar en-ergy …

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 …

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 …

This work addresses the electronics and behaviors of a Hibernation-Enabled Maximum-
