2024 CAES Talk + Demo for Hybrid Uncrewed Ground and Aerial Vehicles
Hybrid Uncrewed Ground and Aerial Vehicles (HUGAVs) are advanced robotic systems designed to operate both on the ground and in the air, combining the capabilities of Uncrewed Ground Vehicles (UGVs) and Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). These hybrid systems are versatile and can seamlessly transition between driving on the ground and flying in the air, offering a wide range of operational advantages for various applications. HUGAVs have significant advantages in applications such as search and rescue missions, military and defence operations, land surveys and environmental monitoring.
Joined with Helmut-Schmidt-University, the University of Adelaide is developing a HUGAV platform led by Mr Adrian Welteke. In this CAES Talk + Demo, Adrian will present his discoveries and demonstrate his development.
The next IEEE Control, Aerospace and Electronic Systems (CAES) Talk + Demo lab tour will be on 17th July 2024 at 6 pm (Adelaide time).
I hope to see you all there.

Design Methodology for Small Hybrid Uncrewed Ground and Aerial Vehicles
HUAGV can operate for longer periods of time than drones while reaching better mobility than rovers. The investigation of design variables and constraints shows the influence of multiple disciplines, such as propeller aerodynamics and electric motor theory, on overall system performance. As a comprehensive analytical description is not feasible for multiple system components, the design process has to incorporate empirical functions and numerical models describing component behaviour. Efficient HUAGV design, therefore, relies on accurate component modelling and mixed discrete and continuous design variable space optimisation.
Biography:
Adrian Welteke received his B.Sc. degree in Engineering Science from Helmut-Schmidt University in Hamburg, Germany.
