AMOVLAB air-ground-sea collaboration solution

A complete platform for air-ground-sea multi-robot collaboration research.

The air-ground-sea collaboration package is tailored for heterogeneous robot swarm collaboration research. It supports UAV + UGV, UAV + USV, and expandable UAV-UGV-USV configurations, integrating advanced collaboration platforms, high-performance computing units, efficient communication modules, high-precision positioning modules, multimodal sensor systems, and a powerful collaboration-control software system.

The platform covers both hardware and software requirements, giving research teams a ready foundation for algorithm verification, system integration, and advanced experiments in heterogeneous intelligent swarms.

Air-ground collaboration, open code, simulation, flexible configuration, and customization.

01

Air-Ground Collaboration

The UAV autonomously plans a route to search a defined area and uses its onboard camera to detect ground targets. After a QR-code target is detected and tracked, the UAV calculates the target position and sends it to the unmanned ground vehicle. The UGV then navigates to the target point and uses its LiDAR module to sense surrounding obstacles and avoid them during navigation.

02

Open Code

UAV and UGV control code, UGV navigation and obstacle-avoidance functions, UAV visual QR-code recognition, air-ground-sea collaboration demos, and other software modules are open source with Chinese comments to help users start secondary development quickly.

03

Simulation System

The platform provides an air-ground-sea collaboration simulation system based on ROS / Gazebo. Users can develop and verify related software functions in simulation before deploying them to the real system.

04

Flexible Solution

Representative UAV + UGV package combinations such as R200-Z410 and R300-P600 are available, with the same architecture extendable to UAV + USV and UAV-UGV-USV collaboration scenarios.

05

Customization Support

AMOVLAB can provide software and hardware customization based on user requirements and the target research scenario.
