“…It is important to be able to obtain a rapid overview of the situation that is often only possible from the sky. In the future, using the optional waypoint navigation function will allow to Nano-drones to inspect the relevant installation autonomously, without the need for navigation instructions from a pilot [13,14,15,16]. …”

Drones, a technical nickname for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are gaining more and more interest and popularity. Supported by the miniaturization and cost reduction of electronic components, a new class of UAVs called Nano-air vehicles or NAVs represent the future technology for indoor and outdoor mission. One of the main considerations when building or buying a drone is the flight time and range. The flight time is nowadays a drawback for miniature unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). It is limited to a few minutes before requiring a forced recovery to replace exhausted batteries. Currently the batteries are the dominant technology, which possess limited operation in time and energy. The real viability to extending flight time (FT) of NAVs is possibly exploring new and more disruptive alternative solution able either to recharge a battery, or even to directly power the NAVs during the flight. A Plasmonic Nano Energy harvester is an attractive technology to extending the FT extracting the energy in mid-infrared radiation emitted from Earth's surface with Rectenna tuned to mid-infrared wavelengths (7 -14 ) m µ with a peak wavelength of about10 m µ . In this review the concepts emerging from this work identify and suggest how this novel harvester can constantly supply these flying objects for the whole day.

Robots are becoming a part of our lives. Unmanned aerial vehicles are occupying our skies for both civilian and military purposes. Robots started to serve customers in stores. Autonomous cars are being tested on streets. Robot toys are entertaining our children and they will become friends with our children. Robotic surgery is expanding. Companies are developing robots to become companions to elderly people. There are many other types of robotic applications. Currently, these applications are limited in number and scale. However, with the current fast pace of the robotic technology research, we can expect a wide-spread use in the near future. All these robotic applications will have significant impacts on our society. While this technology brings great benefits, it will also bring new challenges. We will be subject to questions never asked before. Some of these challenges and questions will be about ethical issues surrounding robotics. Roboethics is an emerging discipline dealing with ethical issues related to robotics. To shape this emerging discipline and guide related studies, we first need to ask good research questions. In this study, the goal is to identify and discuss various roboethics research questions. Some of the questions discussed in this paper are essential questions and the search for answers to these research questions will lead to many other interesting and advanced research questions. This study serves as a starting point for researchers interested in working roboethics.

“…The use of civil unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has increased considerably in recent years, largely due to the innovations, reasonable price, and diverse capabilities of such UAVs [1,2]. At present, civil UAVs are being widely deployed in such applications as aerial photographs, plant protection operations in agriculture, and border patrolling.…”

The increasing use of civil unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has the potential to threaten public safety and privacy. Therefore, airspace administrators urgently need an effective method to regulate UAVs. Understanding the meaning and format of UAV flight control commands by automatic protocol reverse-engineering techniques is highly beneficial to UAV regulation. To improve our understanding of the meaning and format of UAV flight control commands, this paper proposes a method to automatically analyze the private flight control protocols of UAVs. First, we classify flight control commands collected from a binary network trace into clusters; then, we analyze the meaning of flight control commands by the accumulated error of each cluster; next, we extract the binary format of commands and infer field semantics in these commands; and finally, we infer the location of the check field in command and the generator polynomial matrix. The proposed approach is validated via experiments on a widely used consumer UAV.
