Nowadays, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are used in many different applications. Using systems of multiple UAVs is the next obvious step in the process of applying this technology for variety of tasks. There are few research works that cover the applications of these systems and they are all highly specialized. The goal of this survey…
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have recently attracted the attention of researchers due to their numerous potential civilian applications. However, current robot navigation technologies need further development for efficient application to various scenarios. One key issue is the “Sense and Avoid” capability, currently of immense interest to researchers. Such a capability is required for safe operation…
Micro unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are promising to play more and more important roles in both civilian and military activities. Currently, the navigation of UAVs is critically dependent on the localization service provided by the Global Positioning System (GPS), which suffers from the multipath effect and blockage of line-of-sight, and fails to work in an…
Coordination between unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) has received increasing attention in recent years. The list of successful applications of UAV–UGV coordination systems is growing and demonstrates that UAV–UGV coordination can provide real-world solutions that other types of coordination cannot offer. This paper systematically reviews the advances in UAV–UGV coordination systems…
