This paper surveys the state-of-the-art optimization approaches in the civil application of
drone operations (DO) and drone-truck combined operations (DTCO) including construction …

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or aerial drones, are an emerging technology with
significant market potential. UAVs may lead to substantial cost savings in, for instance …

In the context of parcel delivery, aerial drones have great potential that particularly applies in
rural areas. In these areas drones mostly operate faster than trucks. As drones are limited in …

This paper considers the task allocation problems in a distributed multi-robot system under
critical time constraints. Considering the requirement of distributed computing, many existing …

Autonomous delivery robots (ADRs) are a recent advent in delivery services. While studies
on the technical aspects of ADRs are growing rapidly from technical perspectives, studies of …

High risk of a collision between rotor blades and the obstacles in a complex environment
imposes restrictions on the aerial manipulators. To solve this issue, a novel system cable …

Unmanned aerial vehicles, can offer solutions to a lot of problems, making it crucial to
research more and improve the task allocation methods used. In this survey, the main …

This paper investigates the collaborative defense problem of multiple unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs) in a three-dimensional space with an important area. A two-phase defense …

This article presents a team of multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to perform
cooperative missions for autonomous construction. In particular, the UAVs have to build a …

Cooperation is a central idea to the usage of swarm robotics. It enables the solution of
complex problems with a coordinated execution of simple tasks by a large group of small …
