The docking mechanism is critical for unmanned surface vehicle (USV) applications, such as traction, dragging, charging, data transmission, building pontoons, etc. These applications are significant for observation, exploration, data acquisition, patrol, rescuing, etc., in aquatic environments. In t
In this paper, a new capture system for UAV precision landing in a disturbed environment is proposed. Compared with the traditional visual guided landing methods, perching mechanism based methods, and tethered landing methods, the proposed system takes into account the stability during landing proce…
Self-assembly has attracted growing interests in modular robotics during past decades. Recent work accelerates the assembly process by parallelizing the docking actions among robots. However, these methods can only apply to ideal environments without obstacles. Otherwise, robots will get trapped dur…
