AERPAW (Aerial Experimentation and Research Platform for Advanced Wireless) is an advanced wireless research platform centered around fully programmable radios and fully programmable vehicles. In this paper we detail the vehicle aspects of the testbed, including the AERPAW UAVs, UGVs, as well as the hardware and software choices made by the team, as well as our experience earned in the past few years.

Cooperative routing with refueling for aerial and ground vehicles for large scale surveillance: student research abstract
SAC '18: Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Symposium on Applied Computing

This work addresses the problem of mapping a large geographical region using a heterogenous team of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and a ground-based Refueling Vehicle (RV). UAV needs to conduct an aerial survey of the given region using an on-board ...
Relative Pose Estimation for an Integrated UGV-UAV Robot System
ICIRA 2013: Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Intelligent Robotics and Applications - Volume 8102

We have designed an integrated system of an UGV Unmanned Ground Vehicle and an UAVUnmanned Aerial Vehicle, and propose a sensor-based relative pose estimation method for this system. Most of service robots are wheeled robots which can be easily ...
A unified control strategy for autonomous aerial vehicles
Abstract
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become popular in a wide range of applications, including many military and civilian uses. State-of-the-art control strategies for these vehicles are typically tailored to a specific platform and are often ...
