The main goal of the MORUS project is the design and development of a fully operational complex robotic system prototype comprised of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and an Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) capable of autonomous and cooperative mission executions related to environmental, border and port security.

The proposed research is part of an internationally competitive field, with the main objective to design and develop an autonomous aerial and marine robotic system which is capable of collective engagement in missions taking place in dynamic and nondeterministic environments.

MORUS objectives are summarised as follows:

  • Design and construction of an UAV with docking and transportation mechanisms,
  • Visual-feedback-based docking and gripping algorithm,
  • Design of an augmented-reality and easy to operate human-machine interface for simultaneous control of aerial and marine robots,
  • Enhancement of the autonomous navigation capabilities and operational supportability in remote locations with little or no local support,
  • Agile UUV redeployment through cooperation with an UAV,
  • Data exchange between the UUV and UAV through cooperative control and estimation.
