Unifying fundamentally different kinematic models, communication protocols, and operating speeds into a cohesive multi-domain robotic team.
By abstracting low-level actuator physics into high-level spatial capabilities, mission commanders issue universal semantic commands ('Screen Flank', 'Form Perimeter') that air, ground, and sea robots execute according to their unique physics.
A shared DDS data model bridges ROS 2, Mavlink (UAV), and NMEA 2000 (USV) systems, translating vehicle poses and sensor feeds into a normalized tactical world model.
During joint littoral exercises with 8 UGVs, 4 UAVs, and 2 USVs, the heterogeneous collective secured a simulated beachhead and river crossing with zero operator interventions.
