kapslarpod
Kapslarpod is a capsule-shaped autonomous platform designed for field data collection and environmental monitoring. It is built as a modular system with a sealed capsule housing a detachable sensor pod and power module. Configurations vary for air, water, or ground operation, enabling missions ranging from sampling to imaging.
Core components typically include propulsion or buoyancy control, an onboard computer, and a sensor payload interface.
Navigation relies on GPS and inertial measurement units in open environments; in GPS-denied areas, SLAM and
Applications include ecological and coastal monitoring, agricultural phenotyping, and industrial sensing. The kapslarpod concept has been
