Current Funded Research Projects
Electroadhesion for Perching and Resting Quadrotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles on Various SurfacesFunding source: Royal SocietyStart: 31-03-2022 / End: 30-03-2024 Amount: £12,000 In this collaborative project, we propose to develop enabling technologies based on electroactive mechanisms for aiding small UAVs to effectively anchor on various surfaces in challenging environments. The novel technology and strategy can find a wide range of industrial applications and has the potential of revolutionizing aerial photography, infrastructure inspection, and surveillance. |
