Key Concepts
Aerial robots are machines that fly
Aerial robots are machines that fly through the air without direct human control for a specific mission. UAVs, or drones, are the best-known aerial ro
Based on aerial platform
Based on aerial platform, drones are grouped into four main categories: multi-rotor drones, fixed-wing drones, single-rotor helicopters, and fixed-win
