{"product_id":"unmanned-aerial-vehicles-9783036578248","title":"Unmanned Aerial Vehicles","description":"\u003cp\u003eUnmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are recognized as very useful tools to replace, help, or assist humans in various tasks, such as inspection and monitoring, surveillance, search and rescue, exploration, logistics and transportation, etc. Practical uses for such missions in both civilian and defense contexts have experienced a significant growth as a result of recent technological progresses. Nevertheless, some challenges and open issues regarding ensuring a full operational use of UAVs remain unanswered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reprint aims to present recent advances in technologies and algorithms to improve the levels of autonomy, reliability, and safety of UAVs. Different topics are addressed, covering vehicle design and characterization (aerodynamics, flight dynamics, design optimization, communications), algorithms for autonomy (guidance and control, path planning, machine learning, computer vision, perception), traffic and risk management (unmanned traffic management, reliability, risk assessment). Open issues related to new missions such as precision agriculture or telecommunication relays are also considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mdpi AG\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783036578248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 1.31d","brand":"Sylvain Bertrand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51798437494965,"sku":"9783036578248","price":99.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_6ae4ce8a-3eca-4493-8206-877c2bc7c14c.jpg?v=1758638590","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/unmanned-aerial-vehicles-9783036578248","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
