Freshwater ecosystems are vast areas that are constantly changing and evolving. To maintain the ecosystem as well as the structures located close to bodies of water, frequent monitoring is required. Although dangerous and time consuming, manual operations are the conventional way of monitoring such areas. Recently, Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) have been proposed to undertake the monitoring task. As any other platform, ASVs have limitations, such as a restricted point of view and access only where the water is sufficiently deep. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can fly over any terrain and provide a “bird's‐eye‐view” of the environment. However, UAVs have limited operational time due to power constraints. Heterogeneous marsupial robotic systems use different types of robots to augment their operation envelope, taking advantage of their individual strengths. A marsupial survey system comprised an ASV and a UAV for freshwater monitoring is developed and presented in this paper. This system is able to complete long missions and reach remote locations while also being able to generate detailed maps and inspections of points of interest. The system was thoroughly tested during a 6‐month period in a number of field deployments in freshwater ecosystems at Lake Murray and at the Congaree River, SC, USA, to validate its capabilities.

“…Landing platform applications include: continuous mapping and survey; security; delivery of medicine, food items, groceries, parcels delivery, and others. Landing stations could also be mounted on ground or surface vehicles and used as an interface for group interaction between heterogeneous vehicles [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ].…”

Landing platforms’ automation is aimed at servicing vertical take-off and landing UAVs between flights and maintaining their airworthiness. Over the last few years, different designs for the landing platforms have been proposed. This shows a strong development and establishment of automatic landing platforms with UAV positioning devices on the landing site. Positioning and safe fixation of the UAV are some of the main features of the landing platform, especially if it is mounted on a movable vehicle. This article focuses exclusively on the landing platform and its elements that provide the positioning of the UAV by affecting it during and after the landing. Both active devices and mechanisms and passive elements used for positioning are considered. This article, based on the review of recent patents and publications, gives the classification of positioning approaches used in landing stations with the analysis of the required landing precision, as well as the pros and cons of each type of approach.

“…Além desses recursos, comuns em MVAs semelhantes, a qualidade das imagens fornecidas pelo Bebop 2 se destaca, inclusive por usar lente olho de peixe, de forma que ele é uma boa opção para várias aplicações, como inspeção de infra-estruturas (Jordan et al, 2018) ou plantações (Corti et al, 2019), ou outras aplicações que demandem análise visual (Hood et al, 2017;Amorim et al, 2019).…”

Este artigo trata de um modelo dinâmico simplificado para o quadrimotor Parrot Bebop 2, cujos parâmetros são identificados através de um procedimento de mínimos quadrados. Além disso, esse modelo é usado para projetar controladores de alto nível para guiar autonomamente um único veículo ou uma formação de dois deles, em tarefas de seguimento de trajetória. Os controladores assim projetados são utilizados em experimentos de navegação autônoma, cujos resultados validam o modelo proposto e os controladores projetados.
