AI for Enhanced Drone Capabilities in Industry 5.0

Abstract

Industry 5.0, building upon the foundation of Industry 4.0, emphasizes the collaborative coexistence of humans and machines, shaping a more interconnected, intelligent, and sustainable industrial future. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) emerge as versatile tools revolutionizing various industrial sectors, from agriculture and automotive to smart city infrastructure. As industries undergo a transformative shift towards intelligent, connected, and automated processes, the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and UAV technologies presents unprecedented opportunities for efficiency, precision, and innovation. The proposed chapter aims to explore the synergistic integration of AI and UAVs, commonly known as drones, in the context of Industry 5.0.
