Non solo dal cielo. "The Winegrover”

Abstract

We present an approach in which, by exploiting the collaboration of an aerial drone and our autonomous amphibious Rover, data layers containing information detectable only from the ground can be added to the aerial maps detected by an aerial drone. In this context, the Rover could be used as a carrier of sensors of different nature (georadar, electronic noses, multispectral cameras, etc ...) which could record information on the ground and link them to aerial images. The rover, having amphibious capabilities, could also be used for surveys in wetlands, rivers, lakes and in the open sea. Anyone who develops sensing technologies and sensors could use this platform as a remotecontrolled carrier to collect and map information of amphibious or unsafe (chemical, biological, termal, nuclear, even social ....) areas. We call it the Horizontal/Vertical data integration.
