CASCADE Aerial robotics for acoustic sensing in complex environments

19th Oct 2022

Freshwater ecosystems provide essential ecosystem services including food and clean water and despite covering just 1% of the earth surface, support over 10% of all species on earth. These ecosystems are in crisis, with an average 84% decline in freshwater population abundance and 1 in 3 species at risk of extinction. Monitoring and evaluating the … More CASCADE Aerial robotics for acoustic sensing in complex environments

CASCADE for water sampling at lake using Aerial-Aquatic drone developed at ARL, Imperial

2nd Sep 2021

Given the fast rates and spatial scales of anthropogenic effects (e.g. fast global warming), there is a pressing need to measure and predict the dynamics of biodiversity and ecosystems processes, This is particularly relevant for microorganisms such as plankton, which sustain important ecosystem processes (e.g. carbon and nitrogen cycles, energy transfer through food-webs) and services … More CASCADE for water sampling at lake using Aerial-Aquatic drone developed at ARL, Imperial

ADRpy: CASCADE publishes a new library of aircraft design codes

15th Oct 2019

Advances in rapid prototyping technology have enabled the idea of agile development in unmanned aircraft design. This means that the traditional design cycles of the aerospace industry, with lengths typically stretching over years, could be slashed significantly, provided that the design process could be accelerated too, from its earliest phases. ADRpy (Aircraft Design Recipes in … More ADRpy: CASCADE publishes a new library of aircraft design codes
