In recent decades, aerial robots especially small UAVs and drones have witnessed
tremendous improvements in terms of their structure, working methodology, flying features …

The days where swarms of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) will occupy our skies are fast
approaching due to the introduction of cost-efficient and reliable small aerial vehicles and …

Autonomous, agile quadrotor flight raises fundamental challenges for robotics research in
terms of perception, planning, learning, and control. A versatile and standardized platform is …

We are witnessing the advent of a new era of robots—drones—that can autonomously fly in
natural and man-made environments. These robots, often associated with defence …

The Cloud infrastructure and its extensive set of Internet-accessible resources has potential
to provide significant benefits to robots and automation systems. We consider robots and …

Classical models of aerial swarms often describe global coordinated motion as the
combination of local interactions that happen at the individual level. Mathematically, these …

Over the last decade, the use of autonomous drone systems for surveying, search and
rescue, or last-mile delivery has increased exponentially. With the rise of these applications …

Background: Public access defibrillation programs can improve survival after out-of-hospital
cardiac arrest, but automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are rarely available for bystander …

We describe a prototype 75 g micro quadrotor with onboard attitude estimation and control
that operates autonomously with an external localization system. The motivation for …

In this chapter, the integration of two rapidly evolving concepts for integration of robotics and
cloud computing has been illustrated. Intelligent robots should be preferred over low-cost …
