LARICS team (prof. Stjepan Bogdan, Matko Orsag, Tomislav Haus, master students Antun Ivanović and Marko Car) spent a few days in a military base in Split to perform experiments within the joint national LARICS-LABUST project “Cooperative control of heterogeneous robotic systems”. These were the first outdoor experiments for the LARICS UAV team.
A arducopter quadrotor was used to track the LABUST unmanned surface vehicle (USV) called PlaDyPos. Several experiments in a semi-autonomous mode have been conducted and valuable insights gained in the field of quadrotor control under realistic conditions such as wind gusts.
