HexaGripper: A Single-Actuator, Winch-Deployed Gripper for Autonomous Aerial Parcel Collection
Nimantha Adikaram, Mahen Abeyratne, Lakmina Chandrajith +3
Autonomous aerial parcel collection remains constrained by package-transfer operations that require manual loading, landing, or dedicated ground infrastructure. This letter present…
Printability-Constrained Adversarial Decals for Near-Nadir Aerial Perception: Measured Ink Gamuts, Nested Realism Constraints, and a Physical-World Bound
Sandesh Shrestha, K. T. Yasas Mahima, Asanka G. Perera
Adversarial patches for aerial perception are typically evaluated as digital composites, with printing left as an implementation detail. This study imposes three physical constrain…
