About

Jeroen Jager is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on extending the autonomy and operational persistence of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). His primary research areas include autonomous robotics, UAV systems, and robotic manipulation. Jager’s most notable contribution is the development of a system for autonomous battery exchange of UAVs using a mobile ground base, as detailed in his highly cited 2018 paper. This work demonstrates a robotic arm and service station that can swap batteries without human intervention, significantly increasing the flight time and mission endurance of small-scale drones. With 28 citations, this paper has become a foundational reference for researchers tackling the challenge of persistent UAV operations. Jager’s innovations are critical for applications in surveillance, delivery, and environmental monitoring, where long-duration flights are essential. His work exemplifies the integration of mobile robotics and drone technology, pushing the boundaries of what autonomous systems can achieve in real-world scenarios.
