Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), autonomously-guided aircraft, are widely used for tasks involving surveillance and reconnaissance. A version of the pursuit-evasion problems centered around UAVs and its variants has been extensively studied…

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) visual geo-localization aims to match images of the same geographic target captured from different views, i.e., the UAV view and the satellite view. It is very challenging due to the large appearance…

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can offer timely and cost-effective delivery of high-quality sensing data. How- ever, deciding when and where to take measurements in complex environments remains an open challenge. To address this issue, we…

This work addresses the path planning problem for a group of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to maintain a desired formation during operation. Our approach formulates the problem as an optimization task by defining a set of fitness…

We consider unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted wireless communication employing UAVs as relay nodes to increase the throughput between a pair of transmitter and receiver. We focus on developing effective methods to position the UAV(s)…

The growth of weeds poses a significant challenge to agricultural productivity, necessitating efficient and accurate weed detection and management strategies. The combination of multispectral imaging and drone technology has emerged as a…

As the demands of autonomous mobile robots are increasing in recent years, the requirement of the path planning/navigation algorithm should not be content with the ability to reach the target without any collisions, but also should try to…

This paper introduces the deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as lightweight wireless access points that leverage the fixed infrastructure in the context of the emerging open radio access network (O-RAN). More precisely, we…

Survivors stranded during floods tend to seek refuge on dry land. It is important to search for these survivors and help them reach safety as quickly as possible. The terrain in such situations however, is heavily damaged and restricts the…

Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) navigation in orchards presents significant challenges due to obstacles and GPS-deprived environments. In this work, we introduce a learning-based approach to achieve vision-based navigation of UAVs…

Autonomous inspection of large geographical areas is a central requirement for efficient hazard detection and disaster management in future cyber-physical systems such as smart cities. In this regard, exploiting unmanned aerial vehicle…

Because of disaster, terrestrial base stations (TBS) would be partly crashed. Some user equipments (UE) would be unserved. Deploying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) as aerial base stations is a method to cover UEs quickly. But existing…
