Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
After decades of exploration, a complete unmanned aerial vehicles scheme with "perception-decision-making-control" progression has been formed. Unmanned aerial vehicles are widely used in military, agriculture, rescue, monitoring, urban security, and other fields. Exploring more effective unmanned aerial systems can improve the security of the system and broaden its scope of use. This effectiveness can facilitate more accurate information in perception, more accurate decisions, and more accurate control. This Special Issue will collect new methods and applications around the perception, decision making, and control of unmanned aerial vehicles.
In this Special Issue, we aim to exchange knowledge on any aspect related to unmanned aerial vehicles to promote the application of intelligent systems.
Dr. Shubo Wang
