Bibliometric analysis of UAV swarms

Abstract

Projects on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms have been initiated in a big way in the last few years, especially from 2015 to 2016. As a result, the number of related works on UAV swarms has been on the rise, with the rate of growth dramatically accelerating since 2017. This research conducts a bibliometric analysis of robotics swarms and UAV swarms to answer the following questions: (i) Disciplines mentioned in the UAV swarms research. (ii) The future development trends and hotspots in the UAV swarms research. (iii) Tracking related outcomes in the UAV swarms research.
