Field notes
The homepage presents eFendeR as a ground vehicle carrying a robotic UAV-servicing module. Its described sequence runs from a sheltered standby position to deployment, autonomous landing, battery exchange, and retreat, with the page stating roughly four minutes per cycle, ±20 cm landing precision, and GPS-free navigation. A technical document and a survey are linked, with the latter framed as a way to define requirements and specifications.
