In challenging terrains, constructing structures, such as antennas and cable car masts, often requires the use of helicopters to transport loads via ropes. The swinging of the loads, exacerbated by wind, impairs positioning accuracy, therefore necessitating precise manual placement by ground crews. This increases costs and the risk of injuries. Challenging this paradigm, we … [Read more...] about Geranos: A Novel Tilted-Rotors Aerial Robot for the Transportation of Poles

Biomimetic Electric Sense-Based Localization
This article presents a novel localization scheme for free-swimming small underwater robots in a large-scale environment. Accurate localization technology has always been a challenge for small underwater robots since the underwater lighting conditions can limit their vision, while the multipath interference issue occurring near a wall plagues the sonars. By contrast, some kinds … [Read more...] about Biomimetic Electric Sense-Based Localization
