Multi-domain Autonomous Mobile Network for Sensing

Multi-domain autonomous sensor networks are essential for reducing capability gaps between different kinds of sensing platforms. Design of an efficient network can provide seamless sensing capability. Furthermore, to achieve operational persistency, nodes of the networks are required to be robust and affordable. Field robotics has other challenges in addition to robustness and in particular the logistics cost is one of them. Hence, the flexibility to be able to reconfigure the structure of a vehicle in the field significantly reduces transportation of additional items. In this study our group presents our current robotic fleet's strength and the systems that have been developed in the recent years aiming to answer these challenges.
