Unmanned Aircraft System and Artificial Intelligence
摘要
An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is reusable, consisting of power system and unmanned autopilot controller; while a Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) is a system controlled manually, automatically or independently to perform different kinds of tasks This article summarizes and analyzes the characteristics of UAV and UAS in different historical stages; secondly, this article emphasizes UAV and UAS requirements for Artificial Intelligence technologies; finally, this article discusses potential influences on UAS. A UAS usually consists of UAV platforms, payloads for tasks, datalink devices, information processing devices, and integrated support equipment. Research on UAS and UAV started from the beginning of the 20th century, and with the development of electronics, mechanics, material science, and computer science; UAS has rapidly developed over the last century, especially the latest thirty or forty years. With the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence over the first 20 years of the 21st century ushered in a new stage of UAS and UAV development.
