Drone navigation is the set of methods by which unmanned aerial vehicles determine position, plan routes and control flight to reach objectives.
Semantic Classification
Content
- Drone navigation combines positioning, mapping and motion control to guide unmanned aerial vehicles. It draws on satellite positioning, inertial measurement and onboard sensors to estimate state and avoid obstacles.
- In environments without reliable satellite signals, drones rely on visual and inertial methods, including simultaneous localisation and mapping. Path planning algorithms generate routes that respect obstacles and mission constraints.
