Autonomy and Unmanned Vehicles Augmented Reactive Mission and Motion

This book addresses higher–lower level decision autonomy for autonomous vehicles, and discusses the addition of a novel architecture to cover both levels. The proposed framework’s performance and stability are subsequently investigated by employing differ

Preface

Advances in hardware technology have facilitated more integration of sophisticated software toward augmenting the development of unmanned vehicles (UVs) and mitigating constraints for onboard intelligence. As a result, UVs can operate in the complex missions where continuous transformation in environmental condition calls for higher level of situational responsiveness and autonomous decision making. This book is a research monograph that aims to provide comprehensive survey of UVs’ autonomy and its related properties in internal and external situation awareness toward robust mission planning in severe
