Underwater ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles) are unmanned submersible vehicles
designed for exploring and operating in the depths of the ocean. Despite using high-end …

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) exhibit great agility but usually require an experienced
pilot to operate them in certain applications such as inspection for disaster scenarios or …

We propose BirdViewAR, a surroundings-aware remote drone-operation system that
provides significant spatial awareness to pilots through an augmented third-person view …

This work creates a model of the value of different external viewpoints of a robot performing
tasks. The current state of the practice is to use a teleoperated assistant robot to provide a …

The tasks that an aerial manipulator can perform are incredibly diverse. However, nowadays
the technology is not entirely developed to achieve complex tasks autonomously. That is …

Exploration of challenging indoor environments is a demanding task. While automation with
aerial robots seems a promising solution, fully autonomous systems still struggle with high …
