This book draws inspiration from natural shepherding, whereby a farmer utilizes sheepdogs to herd sheep, to inspire a scalable and inherently human friendly approach to swarm control. The book discusses advanced artificial intelligence (AI) approaches needed to design smart robotic shepherding agents capable of controlling biological swarms or robotic swarms of unmanned vehicles. These smart shepherding agents are described with the techniques applicable to the control of Unmanned X Vehicles (UxVs) including air (unmanned aerial vehicles or UAVs), ground (unmanned ground vehicles or UGVs), underwater (unmanned underwater vehicles or UUVs), and on the surface of water (unmanned surface vehicles or USVs). This book proposes how smart ‘shepherds’ could be designed and used to guide a swarm of UxVs to achieve a goal while ameliorating typical communication bandwidth issues that arise in the control of multi agent systems. The book covers a wide range of topics ranging from the design ofdeep reinforcement learning models for shepherding a swarm, transparency in swarm guidance, and ontology-guided learning, to the design of smart swarm guidance methods for shepherding with UGVs and UAVs. The book extends the discussion to human-swarm teaming by looking into the real-time analysis of human data during human-swarm interaction, the concept of trust for human-swarm teaming, and the design of activity recognition systems for shepherding.Presents a comprehensive look at human-swarm teaming;Tackles artificial intelligence techniques for swarm guidance;Provides artificial intelligence techniques for real-time human performance analysis.

The age of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is upon us, and in ushering new ways to connect and travel, this wave of technology has been compared to GPS and cloud computing. However, new technologies like AAM require tools to build, expand, and understand the capabilities. This book describes an effective and efficient, complete solution to the large-scale, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) traffic management problem. The authors present a detailed perspective and solutions to some of the major problems involved in coordinating thousands of autonomous vehicles including: virtual highway (lane) creation, strategic deconfliction of flights, dynamic deconfliction, UAS agent behavior learning, anomalous trajectory detection and classification, as well as a set of simulation results for a variety of scenarios (city package delivery, earthquake supply delivery, coalition force coordination through the lane reservation system, etc.).

The book discusses how Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can leverage the sub-6 GHz massive MIMO to address cell selection and interference issues in future wireless networks. The book takes a close look at utilizing UAVs to achieving direct and efficient device-to device (D2D) communications in the sky. Also, the key 6G enablers (cell-free architectures, artificial intelligence, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, THz communications, and non-terrestrial networks) for UAV communication are broached, and the primary technological challenges of each enabler are discussed extensively. Furthermore, the book covers the design of adaptable UAVs to operate in diverse and harsh environmental conditions. Additionally, the existing UAVs’ networking protocols and how these can be greatly enhanced to address the issue of intermittent network changes and channel impairments are discussed. The prospects and societal benefits envisioned in future UAVs are also presented.

This book provides cutting-edge insights into autonomous vehicles and road terrain classification, and introduces a more rational and practical method for identifying road terrain. It presents the MRF algorithm, which combines the various sensors’ classification results to improve the forward LRF for predicting upcoming road terrain types. The comparison between the predicting LRF and its corresponding MRF show that the MRF multiple-sensor fusion method is extremely robust and effective in terms of classifying road terrain. The book also demonstrates numerous applications of road terrain classification for various environments and types of autonomous vehicle, and includes abundant illustrations and models to make the comparison tables and figures more accessible.

This book describes the resilient navigation techniques under the background of collaboration in swarm. The significance of this work is that it focuses on the navigation enhancement by collaboration in swarm rather than ground infrastructure, which exploit potentialities of swarm in GNSS restricted environment. Although unmanned swarm is receiving greater attention, both through theoretical research and through increasing mention in the industrial developments, the navigation promotion by effective and efficient collaboration remains largely unexplored. While my scholarly work has explored some of the modeling, error characteristic, fusion algorithm, fault detection, and isolation aspects of the “adaptive navigation system” (such as the navigation system of robots and ground vehicles, aircrafts, aerospace vehicles, and unmanned aerial vehicles), the present book proposes the specialized investigation on the navigation with the resilient character, which could maintain the performance by essential collaboration with members in swarm in GNSS degradation environment. This book focused on the resilient navigation techniques under the background of collaboration in swarm. The key techniques of collaborative resilient navigation are proposed, including the collaboration framework, collaborative observation modeling, geometry optimization, integrity augmentation, and fault detection. The experiments are also carried out to validate the effectiveness of the corresponding techniques.

This book thoroughly covers the prospective use cases, intelligent technologies, layered architectures for RIS-assisted UAV communications, research findings, experimental discoveries, and standardizations . The standard non-intelligent and intelligent approaches especially aimed for RIS-assisted UAV communications will be covered in this book. Additionally, researchers and academicians have lately become interested in improving beamforming/reflection for RIS-assisted UAV networks because of its capacity to boost communication coverage, quality, and privacy by dynamically reflecting the incoming signal. The ability to incorporate intelligence via machine learning techniques adopted in the RIS-assisted UAV communications satisfies the criteria for intelligent, environmentally friendly, and self-sustaining 6G cellular networks, making it a potential candidate to address the limitations of existing wireless technologies. Students and professionals alike will find the issues discussed in this book to be interesting.
