Design Principles of Autonomous Systems - UAV, UGV, and AUV

This book explains unmanned systems including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), autonomous under water vehicles (AUV) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGV). It also details their basic design, components/sub-components, sensors, employed payloads, and communication systems. It discusses generic applications of these unmanned systems including specific missions for which they are employed. Other topics like swarm of drone, anti-drone system, and some algorithms used in navigation and communication of the drone are also discussed.

Features:

• Helps readers understand nuances of autonomous systems in land, air, and sea.
• Explains pertinent design, sensors, and communication system.
• Lays the foundation for crafting, designing, and drone applications.
• Reviews technology, algorithms, computing, and regulations.
• Discusses software and navigation aspects of unmanned systems.

This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in mechatronics engineering, systems and sensors, systems and control, and aerospace engineering.
