State-of-the-Art Intelligent Flight Control Systems in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

摘要

We discuss state-of-the-art intelligent robotic aircraft with the special focus on evolutionary autopilots for small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Under the umbrella of adaptive autopilots, we highlight the pros and cons of the most widely implemented intelligent algorithms against the navigational and maneuvering capabilities of small UAVs. We present several cutting-edge applications of bioinspired flight control systems that have the capability of self-learning. We also highlight several research opportunities and challenges associated with each technique.
