“…Providing that RPAS could land safely with a dead battery, it is worth designing a built-in selfrecharging system so that it could maintain a GPS signal or even fly back home. For instance, a small solar panel [109], [110] on top of RPAS can help it recharge itself, possibly to the extent of preventing an accident.…”

In this survey, we look at the overall idea of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) and autonomous control, as well as RPAS infrastructure, levels of autonomy, and current benefits and difficulties in the field when utilizing Artificial Intelligence. While current remotely piloted aircraft systems have a manual pilot operator to provide double-layer security and safety, studies show that having RPAS with a fully autonomous vehicle at its centre could significantly improve decision-making and overall mission precision, accuracy, safety, and efficiency.

“…Vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) models, which are fixed wing multirotor hybrid electric UAVs, could be considered as an alternative for application by the authors for greater autonomy. Another possibility raised is the use of solar panels with [33], not necessarily for movement, but may be used for isolated components of the solution. These solutions were not presented in the articles.…”

<p>Power transmission lines are of great importance for the operation of all sectors of society, such as commerce, industry and public agencies. To ensure reliability and availability of power supply, regular and occasional inspections are conducted, mostly using patrol with binoculars, helicopters or truck cranes. Research is being developed using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to make this activity autonomous, faster, safer, and less costly. The present work aims to analyze research related to the autonomous control of the UAV along the transmission lines through a systematic review of the literature (SRL), apply a viable solution and to verify the possible lacuna in this state of the art. Improvements in safety, computational process and energy efficiency with low-cost were identified. The results presented can help the research community to perform the working this state of art, from the suggestions of autonomous tracking of transmission lines.</p>
