Recently, there has been growing interest in developing hybrid aerial vehicles (HAUV)
capable of operating in air and water and performing continuous and uninterrupted high …

In recent years, there has been a growing need for vehicles with air-water amphibious
capacities for both military and civil applications, and the technological advances in …

The aquatic unmanned aerial vehicle (AquaUAV), a kind of vehicle that can operate both in
the air and the water, has been regarded as a new breakthrough to broaden the application …

Aerial robots capable of locomotion in both air and water would enable novel mission
profiles in complex environments, such as water sampling after floods or underwater …

This paper presents test results and performance characterization of the first fixed-wing
unmanned vehicle capable of full cross-domain operation in both the aerial and underwater …

Abstract Current Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) are greatly limited by being able to operate in
air only. Designing multimodal MAVs that can fly effectively, dive into the water and retake …

The locomotion for many modern robotic systems is optimized for a single target domain–
aerial, surface or underwater. In this work, we address the challenge of developing a robotic …

Some research on aircraft is largely inspired by birds. Among them, aerial-aquatic
amphibians with trans-media locomotion capabilities have greatly promoted the …

Aerial-aquatic robots possess the unique ability of operating in both air and water. However,
this capability comes with tremendous challenges, such as communication incompatibility …

Despite significant research progress on small-scale aerial–aquatic robots, most existing
prototypes are still constrained by short operation times and limited performance in different …
