1)Science, technology and the future of small autonomous drones

Floreano, D.a Wood, R.J.b

aLaboratory of Intelligent Systems, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Station 11, Lausanne, Switzerland bMicrorobotics Lab, Harvard University, 149 Maxwell Dworkin Building, Cambridge, MA, United States

Relevance: The scientific and technological advances that are expected to result into autonomous drones for civilian application are identified. Link: [1]

2)Low-Altitude Unmanned Aerial Vehicles-Based Internet of Things Services: Comprehensive Survey and Future Perspectives

Hossein Motlagh, N.ab, Taleb, T.c, Arouk, O.de

aDepartment of Communications and Engineering, School of Electrical Engineering, Aalto University, Espoo, Finland bDepartment of Computer and Information Security, Sejong University, Seoul, South Korea cSchool of Electrical Engineering, Aalto University, Espoo, Finland

Relevance: Includes a comprehensive survey on the UAVs and the related issues. Also a UAV-based architecture for the delivery of services from the sky is introduced with its relevant key challenges and requirements. Link: [2]

3)The flying sidekick traveling salesman problem: Optimization of drone-assisted parcel delivery

Murray, C.C. Chu, A.G.

Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, Auburn University, 3301 Shelby Center, Auburn, AL, United States

Relevance: A linear programming formulation for two delivery-by-drone problems is presented along with two solution approaches to solve problems of practical size. 'Last-mile delivery' concept: faster receipt of customer orders at lower cost to the distributor with reduced environmental impacts. A numerical analysis demonstrates the effectiveness of the heuristics and investigates the tradeoffs between using drones with faster flight speeds versus longer endurance Link: [3]

4)Airshield: A system-of-systems muav remote sensing architecture for disaster response

Daniel, K., Dusza, B., Lewandowski, A., Wietfeld, C.

Communication Networks Institute (CNI), Dortmund University of Technology, 44227 Dortmund, Germany

Relevance: the complex communication system, which on the one hand has to organize the on-board-communication between the control systems of the MUAV and the sensors and on the other hand has to establish wireless connections to the mission control center on the ground as well as to neighboring MUAVs in the air via a mesh network Link:[4]
