Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are pilotless aerial vehicles, which can be controlled remotely by a human operator. They may also have the capability to autonomously navigate with the help of a programmed computer that is fixed into its frame. UAVs are categorized into different types based on their size, type, range, application and geography. they are used extensively by military and aviation organizations. However, UAVs are being used increasingly for civil and commercial purposes. The design of these vehicles can be broadly categorized into ground systems design, autopilot design and vehicle design. UAVs have a wide range of applications such as precision agriculture, creation of cyber-physical systems, reliable electrical systems for micro aerial vehicles and insect-scale robots, and secure communication in no-fly zones. This book outlines the applications of unmanned aerial vehicles in detail. The readers would also gain knowledge that would broaden their perspective about the theory and design of these vehicles.
