Avionics of Aerial Robots

Abstract

Purpose of Review This work provides an overview of avionic systems, which can be used as an entry point to learn about their architecture and components, and as a guide for studying the recent development of unmanned aerial systems avionics. Recent FindingsThe development trend of avionics for unmanned aerial systems tends toward the one used for a large aircraft both in the structure of the architecture and in design and implementation processes. However, due to the differences in the operational environment, challenges remain in specifying the proper requirements, and proving their safety and security. SummaryThe paper reviews the functionalities and importance of avionic systems, especially in unmanned aerial systems. It also provides the historical background and the future trend of system development in terms of safety, security, and certification for the purpose of integrating these unmanned aerial systems into an urban airspace.

Runtime Assurance for Distributed Avionics Architecture

“…They are also well-suited to reconfiguration or switching logic of RTA because, at their core, they are inherently partitioned, low-cost processing units that can be commanded to carry out the most suitable operation at run-time [19]. This IMA architecture can also be applied to UAVs or smaller multirotors to improve their safety and security aspects [23]- [26].…”

Game Theory and Machine Learning in UAVs-Assisted Wireless Communication Networks: A Survey

“…Traditionally, deploying UAVs in wireless communications systems faced challenges such as complicated channels models [10,11], dynamic cell association [11], energy constraints [11] and legislative regulations [12]. With the continuing increase of the number of deployed UAVs, new challenges associated with multi-agent decision making also arise.…”
