Autonomous Overhead Powerline Recharging for Uninterrupted Drone Operations

Viet Duong Hoang, Frederik Falk Nyboe, Nicolaj Haarhøj Malle, Emad Ebeid

ICRA 2024poster

We present a fully autonomous self-recharging drone system capable of long-duration sustained operations near powerlines. The drone is equipped with a robust onboard perception and navigation system that enables it to locate powerlines and approach them for landing. A passively actuated gripping mec…

Adaptive and Fail-Safe Magnetic Gripper with Charging Function for Drones on Power Lines

Viet Duong Hoang, Aljaz Kramberger, Emad Ebeid

IROS 2023poster

Drone grasping on power lines for recharging is challenging since it requires the gripper to be lightweight, carried by a drone, and efficient for a firm grasp. A deep understanding of the power line nature and its magnetic characteristic helps ease such challenges and bring new knowledge to gripper…
