Abstract

Battery powered aerial vehicles are often utilized for applications like aerial surveying post-disaster or checking the progress of a forest fire. For such applications, it is critical that the endurance (maximal flight time) of the aerial vehicle is considered while planning the missions to avoid complete immobilization amidst the mission. In contrast to aerial vehicles, for ground/marine vehicles, it is rather common to evaluate the energy requirements for specific missions as opposed to endurance. This chapter discusses some of the works in the domain of endurance and energy estimation which primarily focus on the usage of aerial and ground vehicles for a variety of applications, respectively.
