AlbakiReads Editorial

A technical reference spanning UAS theory, design, and applied operations

Edited by Anis Koubaa, this 650-page volume brings together the engineering foundations and practical uses of unmanned aerial systems. Its scope runs from dynamic modeling, system analysis, optimization, and control to communications, computer vision, artificial intelligence, and 3D mapping. Operational questions also receive attention, including safety, mission and path planning, and application requirements. The applied material connects these technical areas to uses such as search and rescue, surveillance, agricultural monitoring, and construction monitoring. Positioned at the intersection of aeronautics, robotics, and autonomous systems, the book presents UAS development as a field requiring both theoretical tools and application-specific planning.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Researchers working on drones, robotics, or autonomous systems
  • Instructors and students seeking broad UAS technical coverage
  • Engineering practitioners involved in UAS design, planning, or applications
