This comprehensive book deeply discusses the theoretical and technical issues of unmanned aerial vehicles for deployment by industries and civil authorities in Internet of Things (IoT) systems.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has become one of the rapidly growing areas of technology, with widespread applications covering various domains. UAVs play a very important role in delivering Internet of Things (IoT) services in small and low-power devices such as sensors, cameras, GPS receivers, etc. These devices are energy-constrained and are unable to communicate over long distances. The UAVs work dynamically for IoT applications in which they collect data and transmit it to other devices that are out of communication range. Furthermore, the benefits of the UAV include deployment at remote locations, the ability to carry flexible payloads, reprogrammability during tasks, and the ability to sense for anything from anywhere. Using IoT technologies, a UAV may be observed as a terminal device connected with the ubiquitous network, where many other UAVs are communicating, navigating, controlling, and surveilling in real time and beyond line-of-sight.
The aim of the 15 chapters in this book help to realize the full potential of UAVs for the IoT by addressing its numerous concepts, issues and challenges, and develops conceptual and technological solutions for handling them. Applications include such fields as disaster management, structural inspection, goods delivery, transportation, localization, mapping, pollution and radiation monitoring, search and rescue, farming, etc. In addition, the book covers:
Efficient energy management systems in UAV-based IoT networks
IoE enabled UAVs
Mind-controlled UAV using Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)
The importance of AI in realizing autonomous and intelligent flying IoT
Blockchain-based solutions for various security issues in UAV-enabled IoT
The challenges and threats of UAVs such as hijacking, privacy, cyber-security, and physical safety.
Audience: Researchers in computer science, Internet of Things (IoT), electronics engineering, as well as industries that use and deploy drones and other unmanned aerial vehicles.

Описание: This book showcases how new and emerging technologies like Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are trying to provide solutions to unresolved socio-economic and environmental problems. Unmanned vehicles can be classified into five different types according to their operation. These five types are unmanned ground vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned surface vehicles (operating on the surface of the water), unmanned underwater vehicles, and unmanned spacecraft. Unmanned vehicles can be guided remotely or function as autonomous vehicles. The technology has a wide range of uses including agriculture, industry, transport, communication, surveillance and environment applications. UAVs are widely used in precision agriculture; from monitoring the crops to crop damage assessment. This book explains the different methods in which they are used, providing step-by-step image processing and sample data. It also discusses how smart UAVs will provide unique opportunities for manufacturers to utilise new technological trends to overcome the current challenges of UAV applications.
The book will be of great interest to researchers engaged in forest carbon measurement, road patrolling, plantation monitoring, crop yield estimation, crop damage assessment, terrain modelling, fertilizer control, and pest control.
The algorithms presented in this book were designed to achieve an acceptable trade-off between contradictive requirements to the software of small UAV navigation systems: sufficient accuracy and reliability in order to perform required flight missions on the one hand, and acceptable cost and simplicity of this software on the other hand. The core of modern navigation systems is integrated Strapdown Inertial Navigation System (SINS) and GPS, so in this book, the SINS algorithms and the algorithms of sensor fusion are described primarily. Inertial sensors (rate gyros and accelerometers) used in SINS are manufactured on the basis of the MEMS-technology. That is why they possess poor accuracy and need to be corrected with other sensors (GPS, magnetometers, and barometric altimeters). It is necessary to take into account that flight missions of small UAVs are characterized by small flight distances, small flight times, small flight speeds, etc. These properties of small UAV flight missions and properties of MEMS-sensors create a practical background for simplification of the SINS algorithms, simultaneously preserving their accuracy at acceptable levels. The navigation algorithms for gyro-free SINS are also considered. Increasing reliability of the UAV navigation systems requires a solution of the problems of the detection of the faulty sensors. These algorithms are described. Some practical aspects of the operation of navigation systems such as initial alignment, sensors calibration, and laboratory, ground, and flight testing of integrated SINS for small UAVs are also presented.
This book will be useful for a wide circle of researchers, engineers, and graduate students involved in modern UAV design and manufacturing.

Описание: This book is based on the authors’ recent research results on formation control problems, including time-varying formation, communication delays, fault-tolerant formation for multiple UAV systems with highly nonlinear and coupled, parameter uncertainties, and external disturbances. Differentiating from existing works, this book presents a robust optimal formation approach to designing distributed cooperative control laws for a group of UAVs, based on the linear quadratic regulator control method and the robust compensation theory. The proposed control method is composed of two parts: the nominal part to achieve desired tracking performance and the robust compensation part to restrain the influence of highly nonlinear and strongly coupled parameter uncertainties, and external disturbances on the global closed-loop control system. Furthermore, this book gives proof of their robust properties. The influence of communication delays and actuator fault tolerance can be restrained by the proposed robust formation control protocol, and the formation tracking errors can converge into a neighborhood of the origin bounded by a given constant in a finite time. Moreover, the book provides details about the practical application of the proposed method to design formation control systems for multiple quadrotors and tail-sitters. Additional features include a robust control method that is proposed to address the formation control problem for UAVs and theoretical and experimental research for the cooperative flight of the quadrotor UAV group and the tail-sitter UAV group. Robust Formation Control for Multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles is suitable for graduate students, researchers, and engineers in the system and control community, especially those engaged in the areas of robust control, UAV swarming, and multi-agent systems.
