The control of complex systems poses new challenges that fall beyond the traditional methods of control theory. One of these challenges is given by the need to control, coordinate and synchronize the operation of several interacting submodules within a system. The desired objectives are no longer captured by usual control specifications such as stabilization or output regulation. Instead, we consider specifications given by linear temporal logic (LTL) formulas. We show that existence of controllers for discrete-time controllable linear systems and LTL specifications can be decided and that such controllers can be effectively computed. The closed-loop system is of hybrid nature, combining the original continuous dynamics with the automatically synthesized switching logic required to enforce the specification.

“…The first armed UAV which actively killed a target was a Predator equipped with Hellfire missile in 2001 [11]. Due to the unit cost, the current military market for RPAS is greater than the civil market, worth approximately $9.6 billion (USD) in 2018 [12].…”

The media coverage of remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) has highlighted some issues, particularly in terms of security and privacy concerns. As such, it is essential to understand the public's perception towards these systems. The purpose of this study was to assess the public's perception towards 1) The terminology used to define RPAS, which varies across the industry; 2) The applications, current and future, of RPAS; 3) The future of passenger transport involving RPAS, and 4) RPAS in general. It was found that there was little difference between the "terms" used to describe RPAS; however, there was a significant difference at the 90% confidence level for "remotely piloted aircraft systems" over "drones". In terms of RPAS applications, community based applications had a positive perception, while personal applications were neutral. The implementation of RPAS into passenger transport aircraft was strongly negative. Finally, there was an overall positive perception towards RPAS.

“…[18]. [19] discusses different kinds of robotic technologies being used in all the three armed forces-Navy, Army and Air. During war time, it will be very beneficial for armed forces if they can send robots to hazardous geographic location instead of human for gathering information of the enemy location and movement [20].…”

In recent years, with the prosperity of big data and cloud computing, robotics is evolving from conventional networked robotics to internet-scale connected, big data driven, and cloud resources supercharged multi-robot systems. In this survey paper, we present a survey of an advancing, pioneering, and multi-disciplinary ﬁeld of research at the intersection of wireless sensor networks (WSN), robotics and big data. We discuss the concepts of networked robots. Networked robots refer to multiple robots working together in coordination with diﬀerent types of embedded computers, sensors, and human users. Networked robotics allows multiple robots and supporting entities to execute tasks that are well beyond the capabilities of a single robot. The recent initiation of cloud technologies is opening new prospects for the provisioning of advanced robotic services based on the cooperation of some connected robots, smart environments and devices powered by the huge computational and storage capability of the cloud servers. We have recently witnessed the emergence of cloud computing on one hand and robotics platforms on the other hand. These two areas have been merging and resulting in the cloud robotics model to oﬀer more distant services. Since networked robots require high computational and processing power, big data is becoming a dominant factor in networked and cloud robotics. This survey paper elaborates the primary concepts of networked and cloud robotics, their applications, challenges as well as the importance of big data in robotics, particularly, networked and cloud robotics and the noteworthy works in these areas.
