DESCRIPTION:
This book presents new and innovative techniques for the design and use of unmanned vehicles for remote sensing and distributed control in agricultural and environmental systems.Focusing on small, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), Remote Sensing and Actuation Using Unmanned Vehicles first describes the design of AggieAir, a low-cost UAV platform for remote sensing. From the Back CoverHow to design and use unmanned vehicles for remote sensing and actuation—a practical guideOwing to their ability to replace human beings in dangerous, tedious, or repetitive jobs, unmanned systems are increasingly used in river/reservoir surveillance and the monitoring and control of chemical/nuclear leaks. It then explains how to solve state estimation and advanced lateral flight controller design problems in the small UAV platform before examining remote sensing problems with single and multiple UAVs. The book also includes flight test
MRN said OUTSTANDING TEXTBOOK !. An amazing new book with an outstanding review of all the key topics and issues in the area of UAVs. Highly recommended to students, researchers, and professionals in this new fascinating field.

This book fill the gap in the field between research and real-world applications, providing scientists and engineers with essential information on how to design and employ networked unmanned vehicles for remote sensing and distributed control purposes. Unmanned systems and robotics technologies have become very popular recently owing to their ability to replace human beings in dangerous, tedious, or repetitious jobs. Target scenarios include environmental or agricultural applications such as river/reservoir surveillance, wind profiling measurement, and monitoring/control of chemical leaks.
