Abstract
This paper presents related literature review on drones or unmanned aerial vehicles that are controlled in real-time. Systems in real-time control create more deterministic response such that tasks are guaranteed to be completed within a specified time. This system characteristic is very much desirable for drones that are now required to perform more sophisticated tasks. The reviewed materials presented were chosen to highlight drones that are controlled in real time, and to include technologies used in different applications of drones. Progress has been made in the development of highly maneuverable drones for applications such as monitoring, aerial mapping, military combat, agriculture, etc. The control of such highly maneuverable vehicles presents challenges such as real-time response, workload management, and complex control. This paper endeavours to discuss real-time aspects of drones control as well as possible implementation of real-time flight control system to enhance drones performance.
Highlights
A drone, known as unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), is an aircraft without a human pilot on board [1,2]
A UAV is controlled by an embedded computer called the Flight Control System (FCS) or flight controller [34–36], basically consisting of a control software loaded into a microcontroller
Inertial guidance systems can be used to estimate the location of the UAV relative to its initial position using a method known as dead reckoning [65]
Summary
A drone, known as unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), is an aircraft without a human pilot on board [1,2]. The study in [33] demonstrates how versatile and fast-growing is the adoption of UAV solutions in daily life scenarios They propose the design of a system capable of detecting coronavirus automatically from the thermal image quickly and with less human interactions using IoT-based drone technology. It has a sport mode that disables collision detection and enables fast speeds It has an active tracking technology that enables the selection of another moving object, like a car or another drone, and the Phantom 4 will autonomously follow it without assistance from the human pilot. The drone is equipped with a 3-axis camera and can record 4K resolution video at 30 fps and 1080p resolution at 12 fps It will take 12-megapixel images in Adobe DNG raw format. Control of highly maneuverable UAVs has been extensively studied for the past decades
