About this book:
Launched in 2013, the
journal Unmanned Systems has published more than 200 articles reporting on the
state-of-art development in the field. This review volume has selected the 15
best articles of the journal to mark its 10-year anniversary as well as the
progress achieved in the field of unmanned systems in the last decade.
The articles selected in
this celebratory volume cover all subjects related to the development of
automatic machine systems in unmanned hardware platforms (aerial, ground, underwater
and unconventional platforms), unmanned software systems, energy systems,
modelling and control, communications systems, computer vision systems, sensing
and information processing, navigation and path planning, computing,
information fusion, multi-agent systems, mission management, machine
intelligence, artificial intelligence, and innovative application case studies.
An analytical review that
examines the selected articles under the human cognitive perceptual cycle, to
perceive, learn, remember, and think about information is also included in this
collection.
