Defect diagnosis in urban infrastructure is crucial for public safety. Traditional manual inspections face significant challenges in terms of accuracy and cost-effectiveness. In this paper, we propose a lightweight and hardware-friendly large-scale infrastructure detector, CUPID, highly suitable for
As marine exploration becomes increasingly important, marine robots have been extensively studied in recent years. Despite some well-designed robots have already achieved to various successful missions, most existing robots struggle to adapt to diverse demands or tasks due to their fixed structure a
Coupling-Tiltable Unmanned Aerial-Aquatic Vehicles (UAAVs) have gained increasing importance, yet lack comprehensive analysis and suitable controllers. This paper analyzes the underwater motion characteristics of a self-designed UAAV, Mirs-Alioth, and designs a controller for it. The effectiveness o
In recent years, significant progress has been made in the field of underwater image enhancement (UIE). However, its practical utility for high-level vision tasks, such as underwater object detection (UOD) in Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), remains relatively unexplored. It may be attributed…
Autonomous Marine Vehicles (AMVs) have been widely used in many critical tasks such as surveillance, patrolling, marine environment monitoring, and hydrographic surveying. However, most typical AMVs cannot meet the diverse demands of different marine tasks. In this article, we design a new type of r…
Aerial-aquatic vehicles are capable to move in the two most dominant fluids, making them more promising for a wide range of applications. We propose a prototype with special designs for propulsion and thruster configuration to cope with the vast differences in the fluid properties of water and air.…
