Effective ocean observation requires hybrid aerial-underwater vehicles (HAUVs) to operate efficiently across both air and water. However, such cross-domain missions often lead to significant hydro-aerodynamic conflicts and endurance limitations caused by structural redundancy. This letter proposes N
Hybrid aerial underwater vehicles (HAUVs) provide unique capabilities for aerial and underwater observation and sampling, with a variety of configurations already developed. However, challenges in maneuverability, payload integration, and practicality persist, while their specific applications remai
This letter introduces a small hybrid aerial underwater vehicle (HAUV), which we named Nezha-F, that can fly in the air, perform vertical profiling underwater, and vertically take off and land from both the water surface and ground. A foldable and self-deployable arm mechanism linked to and driven b
