Artificial Intelligence for Unmanned Aerial VehiclesEdizione 1

In-depth exploration of machine learning techniques applied to UAV operations and communications, highlighting areas of potential growth and research gaps

Artificial Intelligence for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles provides a comprehensive overview of machine learning (ML) techniques used in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations, communications, sensing, and computing. It emphasizes key components of UAV activity to which ML can significantly contribute including perception and feature extraction, feature interpretation and regeneration, trajectory and mission planning, and aerodynamic control and operation.

The book considers the notion of security in the UAV network primarily in terms of its underlying rationale. This book also includes a detailed analysis of UAV behavior with respect to time and explores online machine learning-based solutions for UAV-assisted IoT networks.

Additional topics include:

• Joint cruise control and data collection
• Resilience in an AI-aided UAV network against multiple attacks, introducing a flexible and adaptive threshold to alleviate malicious conduct
• Quantification of influencing attributes, quantification of weights affiliated with these attributes, and movement tracking of malicious UAVs
• Integration of contextual information, threshold definitions, and time-variant behavior analysis

Artificial Intelligence for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles is an essential up-to-date reference on the subject for researchers, professors, graduate and senior undergraduate students, and industry professionals in the field.
