Tethered Unmanned Aerial Vehicles—A Systematic Review

et al. 2023

In recent years, there has been a remarkable surge in the development and research of tethered aerial systems, thus reflecting a growing interest in their diverse applications. Long-term missions involving aerial vehicles present significant challenges due to the limitations of current battery solutions. Tethered vehicles can circumvent such restrictions by receiving their power from an element on the ground such as a ground station or a mobile terrestrial platform. Tethered Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can also be applied to load transportation achieved by a single or multiple UAVs. This paper presents a comprehensive systematic literature review, with a special focus on solutions published in the last five years (2017–2022). It emphasizes the key characteristics that are capable of grouping publications by application scope, propulsion method, energy transfer solution, perception sensors, and control techniques adopted. The search was performed in six different databases, thereby resulting in 1172 unique publications, from which 182 were considered for inclusion in the data extraction phase of this review. Among the various aircraft types, multirotors emerged as the most widely used category. We also identified significant variations in the application scope of tethered UAVs, thus leading to tailored approaches for each use case, such as the fixed-wing model being predominant in the wind generation application and the lighter-than-air aircraft in the meteorology field. Notably, the classical Proportional–Integral–Derivative (PID) control scheme emerged as the predominant control methodology across the surveyed publications. Regarding energy transfer techniques, most publications did not explicitly describe their approach. However, among those that did, high-voltage DC energy transfer emerged as the preferred solution. In summary, this systematic literature review provides valuable insights into the current state of tethered aerial systems, thereby showcasing their potential as a robust and sustainable alternative to address the challenges associated with long-duration aerial missions and load transportation.

“…The number of points to be served is N = 100, and m = 30 vehicles. The analysis of sending vehicles to service points was supplemented with the economic aspect of the issue, i.e., vehicle maintenance costs, profits from servicing the point, and costs related to not servicing the point [108,109]. Such analyzes for the actual conditions of a transport company from the courier industry are presented [110][111][112][113].…”

The Planning Process of Transport Tasks for Autonomous Vans—Case Study

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Transport is an area that is developing at a tremendous pace. This development applies not only to electric and hybrid cars appearing more and more often on the road but also to those of an autonomous or semi-autonomous nature. This applies to both passenger cars and vans. In many different publications, you can find a description of a number of benefits of using automated guided vehicles (AGV) for logistics and technical tasks, e.g., in the workplace. An important aspect is the use of knowledge management and machine learning, i.e., artificial intelligence (AI), to design these types of processes. An important issue in the construction of autonomous vehicles is the IT connection of sensors receiving signals from the environment. These signals are data for deep learning algorithms. The data after IT processing enable the decision-making by AI systems, while the used machine learning algorithms and neural networks are also needed for video image analysis in order to identify and classify registered objects. The purpose of this article is to present and verify a mathematical model used to respond to vehicles’ demand for a transport service under set conditions. The optimal conditions of the system to perform the transport task were simulated, and the efficiency of this system and benefits of this choice were determined.

This paper deals with the topic of market analysis of drones (or UAVs) for civil use. This is an analytical overview study. In the introduction, we offer an overview of the main historical milestones on the topic of drones. We then provide a classification and explanation of the main types of drones. The main part of the article contains structured information about the drone market, its status in terms of market shares and relative market shares. For a structured view of this market, we used the BCG method: we calculated the market growth and relative market shares. This market is dynamic and growing gradually. Established brands forming a strong competitive environment. In the photo-video segment, the Chinese brand DJI has a strong and dominant position. Demand on the consumer side is also growing, as is the reputation of the most used product brands.
