Advanced Algorithms for Autonomous Guidance of Solar-powered UAVs
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) techniques have developed rapidly within the past few decades. Using UAVs provides benefits in numerous applications such as site surveying, communication systems, parcel delivery, target tracking, etc. The high manoeuvrability of the drone and its ability to replace a certain amount of labour cost are the reasons why it can be widely chosen. There will be more applications of UAVs if they can have longer flight time, which is a very challenging hurdle because of the energy constraint of the onboard battery. One promising solution is to equip UAVs with some lightweight solar panels to maximize flight time. Therefore, more research is needed for solar-powered UAVs (SUAVs) in different environments.
