Abstract

Purpose This paper aims to illustrate the growing role of drones in applications involving physical tasks. Design/methodology/approach Following a short introduction, this first provides a brief introduction to drone technology. It then describes and discusses products and applications involving physical tasks in agricultural and forestry, maritime rescue, firefighting and product delivery. Finally, brief conclusions are drawn. Findings Excluding military applications, drones were initially used primarily for image acquisition. Numerous different designs have since been developed with greatly varying wing configurations, payloads, flight duration, power sources and other features which are increasingly being used to conduct physical tasks. In the applications considered here drones are applying agrochemicals and dispersing crop and tree seeds; saving lives by deploying lifeboats and buoyancy aids; extinguishing fires in high-rise buildings and forests; and delivering groceries, food, mail, medicines and humanitarian aid, often in and to remote locations. Originality/value This study provides a detailed insight into selection of applications in which drones conduct physical tasks.

超越成像:用于物理应用的无人机
本文旨在说明无人机在涉及物理任务的应用中日益增长的作用。设计/方法论/方法在简短的介绍之后,这首先提供了一个简短的介绍无人机技术。然后描述并讨论了涉及农业和林业、海上救援、消防和产品交付等物理任务的产品和应用。最后,得出了简要的结论。包括军事应用在内,无人机最初主要用于图像采集。许多不同的设计已经开发出大大不同的机翼配置,有效载荷,飞行持续时间,电源和其他特征,越来越多地用于执行物理任务。在这里考虑的应用中,无人机应用农用化学品和传播作物和树木种子;通过部署救生艇和浮力辅助设备来拯救生命;扑灭高层建筑和森林火灾;运送杂货,食品,邮件,药品和人道主义援助,通常是在偏远地区。原创性/价值本研究提供了无人机进行物理任务的应用选择的详细见解。

期刊介绍: Industrial Robot publishes peer reviewed research articles, technology reviews and specially commissioned case studies. Each issue includes high quality content covering all aspects of robotic technology, and reflecting the most interesting and strategically important research and development activities from around the world. The journal’s policy of not publishing work that has only been tested in simulation means that only the very best and most practical research articles are included. This ensures that the material that is published has real relevance and value for commercial manufacturing and research organizations. Industrial Robot''s coverage includes, but is not restricted to: Automatic assembly Flexible manufacturing Programming optimisation Simulation and offline programming Service robots Autonomous robots Swarm intelligence Humanoid robots Prosthetics and exoskeletons Machine intelligence Military robots Underwater and aerial robots Cooperative robots Flexible grippers and tactile sensing Robot vision Teleoperation Mobile robots Search and rescue robots Robot welding Collision avoidance Robotic machining Surgical robots Call for Papers 2020 AI for Autonomous Unmanned Systems Agricultural Robot Brain-Computer Interfaces for Human-Robot Interaction Cooperative Robots Robots for Environmental Monitoring Rehabilitation Robots Wearable Robotics/Exoskeletons.
