Cooperative perception algorithms where high-altitude micro-drones broadcast top-down obstacle grids directly into ground vehicle path planners.
Tethered or autonomous UAVs hovering at 50 meters capture wide-area orthomosaic imagery, computing 3D elevation maps. Ground vehicles ingest these maps via high-speed sidelink, anticipating obstacles hidden behind walls or terrain ridges.
UGVs act as mobile motherships equipped with precision visual landing targets and inductive drone charging nests, deploying and recovering aerial scouts without human assistance.
