Single Drone
Single drone research focuses on enhancing drone capabilities for diverse applications, primarily addressing limitations in battery life, operational range, and data processing. Current research emphasizes improving autonomy through deep reinforcement learning (DRL) and advanced control algorithms like PID controllers, often coupled with robust sensor fusion techniques (e.g., visual, infrared, and RF) and novel navigation strategies for GPS-denied environments. These advancements are significant for various fields, including environmental monitoring, search and rescue, infrastructure inspection, and delivery services, by enabling more efficient, reliable, and versatile drone operations.
