Autonomous aerial robotics investigates unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and related platforms that can sense, decide, and act with minimal human intervention in complex environments. Work in this area spans bio‑inspired airframes and control, multi-sensor and quantum-enhanced navigation in GNSS-denied settings, collaborative swarming and human–AI teaming, and mission-specific systems for search and rescue, disaster response, infrastructure monitoring, and precision strike. The field integrates machine learning, optimization, and robust control with communication, cybersecurity, and counter‑drone technologies to ensure reliable, safe operation under uncertainty and interference.
