Research on logistics of intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle integration system
2025-05-21
[ScienceDirect-Journal of Industrial Information Integration] ABSTRACT
As Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is more and more frequently used in farming and logistics, civil and military alike, researches involving UAVs also starts to boom. In the civil field, UAV is generally flown in urban areas, so buildings are the main factors hindering the normal flight of UAV. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate an optimal flight path of UAV under constraints. The intelligent logistics UAV proposed in this paper can be used to replace special couriers to deliver small goods. It is a quadcopter integrated with a webcam, ultrasound Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS), and is controllable through a mobile APP. Gradient descent algorithm, Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) and improved Proportion-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers are applied in its flight control system, MATLAB and wavelet transform to handle fuzzy image. In addition, ant colony algorithm and adaptive strategies are used in the path planning process. As a result, it can detect surrounding obstacles in-flight, and the ground control station can receive feedback information and prepare for emergency operations.

The more I read on the drag race to A.I. and robotics control. The more, I hope we have less Forbin's, and more Sarah J. Connors.

#5  All depends on the airspeed doesn't it.
China's protected airspace might be as much as 3000+ miles from launch.

As a Global Hawk comp it might have a max airspeed of 400mph. With the load, prob less.

That's 10 hrs for a Xcountry run, 2 hrs of exposure out and back.

Nobody runs max range.

#4  Twelve hours is pretty large exposure window.
