"Unmanned systems and robotics technologies have become very popular recently owing to their ability to replace human beings in dangerous, tedious, or repetitious jobs. This book fill the gap in the field between research and real-world applications, providing scientists and engineers with essential information on how to design and employ networked unmanned vehicles for remote sensing and distributed control purposes. Target scenarios include environmental or agricultural applications such as river/reservoir surveillance, wind profiling measurement, and monitoring/control of chemical leaks"-- Provided by publisher.

"This book will stimulate other researchers in this field to work on more practical questions and provide some insights to industrial engineers who want to use unmanned systems for their application problems"-- Provided by publisher.
