Utilization of Aerial Drone Technology in Logistics
In order to create a supply chain that is both economically and ecologically sustainable and complies
with contemporary standards, the logistics chain must be modernized and should rely on new
technology. In this article, the authors will attempt to elaborate the development direction of delivery
systems through examples of technology-oriented companies such as Amazon, focusing on the use
of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) for delivering smaller packages within urban and suburban
environments. The main goal of using drones in urban logistics is to reduce the burden on city roads
and the use of road vehicles that generate the highest gaseous emissions footprint. The use of drones
has proven to be extremely flexible and useful in port logistics as well, eliminating the need to send
supply vessels into rough seas or putting people in danger during exhaust emission control. However,
drones are a relatively new technology, and they have their own limitations, which are still being
discovered. The main constraints of the devices themselves are power sources and the power of the
aircraft, which currently and likely in the future won鈥檛 be able to transport heavier commercial loads.
Increased use leads to congestion in airspace, posing risks to other modes of transportation such as
road or air. Research shows that the current use of drones mainly revolves around test flights or limited
applications within a regulated environment
Sistema de valoraci贸n funcional para sistemas de aeronavegaci贸n no tripulados a partir de la calidad de la informaci贸n
Unmanned aerial navigation systems are not used in many military and non-military applications. However, these systems are susceptible be operated by hackers partially or completely. Therefore, in this article based on the JDL model for safety assessment of the drone鈥檚 framework it is proposed. Metrics for each level of the merger in conjunction with a mapping system in order to determine the dependence of data between different levels are proposed, considering the contextual user ratings.Los sistemas de aeronavegaci贸n no tripulados son utilizados en m煤ltiples aplicaciones militares y no militares. Sin embargo, estos sistemas son susceptibles de ser intervenidos por delincuentes inform谩ticos parcial o totalmente. En este art铆culo se propone un framework basado en el modelo JDL para la evaluaci贸n de la seguridad de los drones y se establecen criterios de evaluaci贸n de desempe帽o y de calidad de la informaci贸n para cada nivel de la fusi贸n, en conjunto con un sistema de mapeo de estas m茅tricas, con el fin de determinar la dependencia de los datos entre diferentes niveles, contemplando la valoraci贸n contextual del usuario
A Comprehensive Review of AI-enabled Unmanned Aerial Vehicle: Trends, Vision , and Challenges
In recent years, the combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and unmanned
aerial vehicles (UAVs) has brought about advancements in various areas. This
comprehensive analysis explores the changing landscape of AI-powered UAVs and
friendly computing in their applications. It covers emerging trends, futuristic
visions, and the inherent challenges that come with this relationship. The
study examines how AI plays a role in enabling navigation, detecting and
tracking objects, monitoring wildlife, enhancing precision agriculture,
facilitating rescue operations, conducting surveillance activities, and
establishing communication among UAVs using environmentally conscious computing
techniques. By delving into the interaction between AI and UAVs, this analysis
highlights the potential for these technologies to revolutionise industries
such as agriculture, surveillance practices, disaster management strategies,
and more. While envisioning possibilities, it also takes a look at ethical
considerations, safety concerns, regulatory frameworks to be established, and
the responsible deployment of AI-enhanced UAV systems. By consolidating
insights from research endeavours in this field, this review provides an
understanding of the evolving landscape of AI-powered UAVs while setting the
stage for further exploration in this transformative domain
