This paper presents a comprehensive survey of UAV-centric situational awareness (SA),
delineating its applications, limitations, and underlying algorithmic challenges. It highlights …

In a disaster response management (DRM) scenario, communication and coordination are
limited, and absence of related infrastructure hinders situational awareness. Unmanned …

Emergency communication is essential for search and rescue operations in the aftermath of
natural disasters. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-assisted networking is emerging as a …

Rapid growth and technological improvement in wireless communication, driven by
engineers from various disciplines, have reached significant milestones. Unmanned Aerial …

In this work, we investigate the use of drones in a delivery scenario formed by two
contiguous areas. In one area the drones can freely fly on straight lines between any two …

In this paper, we consider the problem of using a drone to collect information within orchards
in order to detect bugs. An orchard can be modeled as an aisle-graph, which is a regular …

For next-generation logistics management, robotic vehicles such as autonomous ground
robots and aerial drones can alleviate the strain on last-mile distribution. They can help …

This paper presents a novel angle-aware coverage control method to enhance monitoring
efficiency for large-scale 3D map reconstruction using drone networks. The proposed …
