SailMAV: Water-Surface Locomotion and Biodiversity Monitoring (I)

Andre Farinha, Luca Romanello, Raphael Zufferey, Jenna Louise Lawson, Sophie Franziska Armanini, Mirko Kovac

ICRA 2026poster

Existing aquatic robotic vehicles tend to be large, heavy, and difficult to deploy. This often renders them unsuitable for monitoring delicate aquatic habitats and hard-to-access areas. We present a comprehensive framework for the design and development of sailing micro aerial vehicles (SailMAVs), w…

SailMAV: Design and Implementation of a Novel Multi-Modal Flying Sailing Robot

Raphael Zufferey, Alejandro Ortega Ancel, Célia Raposo, Sophie Franziska Armanini, André Farinha, Robert Siddall +3

RA-L 2019

Despite significant research progress on small-scale aerial–aquatic robots, most existing prototypes are still constrained by short operation times and limited performance in different fluids. The main challenge is to design a vehicle that satisfies the partially conflicting design requirements for
