“…The configuration of a typical multi-copter UAV is shown in the Figure 3. The flight controller sends commands to each Electric Speed Controller (ESC) according to the instructions from the transmitter [58]. In addition, during flight, the position information, altitude information, etc., obtained from the air pressure sensor, acceleration sensor, GPS, etc., are transmitted to the transmitter.…”

Nowadays, wireless communications are ubiquitously available. However, as pervasive as this technology is, there are distinct situations, such as during substantial public events, catastrophic disasters, or unexpected malfunctions of base stations (BSs), where the reliability of these communications might be jeopardized. Such scenarios highlight the vulnerabilities inherent in our current infrastructure. As a result, there is growing interest in establishing temporary networks that offer high-capacity communications and can adaptively shift service locations. To address this gap, this paper investigates the promising avenue of merging two powerful technologies: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and millimeter-wave (mmWave) transmissions. UAVs, with their ability to be operated remotely and to take flight without being constrained by terrestrial limitations, present a compelling case for being the cellular BSs of the future. When integrated with the high-speed data transfer capabilities of mmWave technology, the potential is boundless. We embark on a hands-on approach to provide a tangible foundation for our hypothesis. We carry out comprehensive experiments using an actual UAV equipped with an mmWave device. Our main objective is to meticulously study its radio wave propagation attributes when the UAVs are in flight mode. The insights gleaned from this hands-on experimentation are profound. We contrast our experimental findings with a rigorous numerical analysis to refine our understanding. This comparative study aimed to shed light on the intricacies of wave propagation behaviors within the vast expanse of the atmosphere.

“…In this article, we focus on the disinfection task which involves spreading a liquid compound that disinfects surfaces. Automating the task requires a positioning system, or robot, to move an active sprinkler in such a way that all surfaces of interest are covered [1]. Within positioning systems, micro aerial vehicles(MAVs), also known as drones, represent a promising solution due to their ability to move in three dimensions and their relative low cost.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic is causing a devastating effect on the health of global population. There are several efforts to prevent the spread of the virus. Among those efforts, cleaning and disinfecting public areas has become an important task. This task is not restricted a to disinfection, but it is also applied to painting or precision agriculture. Current state of the art planners determine a route, but they do not consider that the plan will be executed in closed areas or they do not model the sprinkler coverage. In this paper, we propose a coverage path planning algorithm for area disinfection, our method considers the scene restrictions as well as the sprinkler coverage. We have tested the method in several simulation scenes. Our experiments show that the method is efficient and covers more areas with respect to current methods.
