AUTONOMOUS OBJECT-TARGET NAVIGATION USING UAV CONTROL
Keywords:
object-target navigation, UAV control, autonomous systems, and thorough literature review.Abstract
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) autonomous control has drawn a lot of attention from researchers over the past ten years. Drones are widely used in the public, private, and military sectors for a variety of tasks, including delivery, search and rescue, and surveillance, as well as for securing sensitive areas and resolving problems that call for movement. The use of UAVs for navigational tasks that require complete autonomy in terms of control, planning, localization, and mapping, however, is still an unresolved issue. Information on using autonomous UAVs for object-target navigation is provided in this article. With the exception of estimating the target's location, object-to-target navigation inherits the same navigational issues as steering and navigation. Understanding which object to look for and where to find it is necessary for the task of finding something. In this regard, research taxonomies on UAV navigation and target location tasks and methods are identified. The reliance on autonomous navigation tasks, as well as the shortcomings in UAV development and framework standardization, are significant issues that are brought to light by this review.
