An unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) is a vehicle that operates while in contact with the ground without an onboard human presence. UGVs can be used for many applications where it is inconvenient, dangerous, expensive, or impossible to use an onboard human operator.

Nov 28, 2024 · Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) have rapidly evolved, becoming integral to various applications such as environmental monitoring, disaster response, and precision agriculture. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the advancements and the challenges in UAV-UGV collaboration and its potential applications.

Abstract: This paper proposed a framework of cooperative UAV-UGV system. This system consists of three modules: UAV, UGV, and ground station console. It has the characteristics of high cohesion, low coupling, cross platform, and cross language.

Feb 23, 2024 · Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) Systems have increasingly become an integral part of military operations, offering several advantages in combat scenarios. We’ve looked previously at Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems and Anti UAV Defense in general plus CUAS Systems for the UAV market in particular but here we focus entirely on UGVs.

3 days ago · To optimize this energy-aware UAV-UGV cooperative routing problem, we propose a planning framework that determines optimal routes and recharging points between a UAV and a UGV. Our solution employs a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) framework built on an encoder-decoder transformer architecture with multi-head attention mechanisms.

Jul 1, 2024 · In this work, we introduce a novel approach for a UAV-UGV coalition with a variable number of vehicles, employing a modified mean-shift clustering algorithm (MEANCRFT) to segment targets into multiple zones.

This article presents a formation control paradigm between an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) and an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The objective for the UGV is to track the desired trajectory and the UAV coordinates with the UGV for autonomous takeoff and landing.

Nov 28, 2024 · Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) have rapidly evolved, becoming integral to various applications such as environmental monitoring, disaster response, and...

UAV-UGV teaming approach where the localization of the UAV is delegated to its UGV partner via visual perception, thus alleviating the UAV’s computational burden for localization. This approach not only frees up computational resources for inspection …

Jul 17, 2024 · Such UAV–UGV collaborative systems can be used to localise UGVs in battlefields and disaster zones. For example, a UGV can be sent to a high-priority rescue mission where the GNSS reception is weak, and the environment has thick smoke and flames.
