In particular, they use a number of sensors and techniques known from robotics, autonomous cars, sensor networks, sometimes just changing its application. Here we focus on those components that differ from UGV aforementioned in other sections. text/html 2021-06-14T09:00:00+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://home.roboticlab.eu/en/drones/platforms/navigation?rev=1623661200&do=diff Navigation Global Navigation Satellite Systems GNSS Introduction to the GNSS Global Navigation Satellite Systems (short GNSS) are useful to position an object (here drone) in 3D space, mostly outdoors. Actually, 2D, planar (longitude/latitude) positioning is quite good, and in most applications suitable, vertical positioning used to be inaccurate, so most drones use a different strategy to check their altitude, mostly measuring atmospheric pressure changes (using barometer). UAVs usually ope… text/html 2020-07-20T09:00:00+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://home.roboticlab.eu/en/drones/platforms/power?rev=1595235600&do=diff Powering an UAV Sources for electrical energy in UAVs text/html 2021-06-14T09:00:00+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://home.roboticlab.eu/en/drones/platforms/powering?rev=1623661200&do=diff Power sources specific for UAV Here we present drone-specific energy sources. As mentioned in the components section, there are combustion and even jet engines, here we focus on electrical energy sources, in short, batteries. Drone batteries are connected directly to the ESCs and through them drive motors as most of the current is flowing this way.
