autonomous operations in unmanned aerial systems: a comprehensive book

Autonomous drones are unmanned aerial vehicles programmed to operate independently without direct human control. Equipped with sensors, GPS, and AI algorithms, they navigate, collect data, and perform tasks such as surveillance, delivery, and mapping. These drones offer advantages in efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness across various industries including agriculture, infrastructure inspection, and emergency response. However, concerns about privacy, security, and regulatory compliance persist. As technology advances, autonomous drones are poised to revolutionize numerous sectors, accelerating tasks, and enabling innovative applications with their ability to operate autonomously in diverse environments.
