Improving the Deployment of Vehicular Quad rotors in Challenging Environments: Addressing Control, Perception, and Planning Issues with Innovative Solutions

Abstract

– "Despite the significant advancements in aerial robotics, the deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in complex, cluttered, and dynamic environments, such as urban areas, remains challenging. Vehicular Quadrotors have emerged as a promising solution combining the advantages of ground vehicles and quadrotors to navigate complex environments. However, several technical challenges need to be addressed to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of Vehicular Quadrotors. This research aims to investigate the control, perception, and planning problems associated with Vehicular Quadrotors and propose innovative solutions to enable their successful deployment in various applications, such as aerial surveillance, search and rescue, precision agriculture, and transportation."
