Opis

Smart Autonomous Aircraft: Flight Control and Planning for UAV introduces the advanced methods of flight control, planning, situation awareness, and decision making. This book is among the first to emphasize the theoretic and algorithmic side of control and planning in dynamic and uncertain environments. Focused on the latest th

Recenzje

"Smart Autonomous Aircraft gives an interdisciplinary point of view on autonomous aircraft. It develops models and reviews different methodologies of control and planning used to create smart autonomous aircraft. Some case studies are examined as well. An ideal resource for researchers and practitioners working on solutions for implementing advanced capabilities in UA V s, Smart Autonomous Aircraft details the mathematical underpinnings of each concept and includes illustrative case studies to reinforce understanding. The topics considered in the book are derived from Sebbane's research and teaching duties in smart aerospace and autonomous systems over several years. Some parts are based on the top literature in the field. Assuming an understanding of engineering at the undergraduate level, Smart Autonomous Aircraft is suitable for advanced-level graduate students and PhD students enrolled in UAV or aerial robotics courses, as well as researchers.
