Path Planning for Autonomous Drones: Challenges and Future Directions

Drones, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 7(3), С. 169 - 169

Опубликована: Фев. 28, 2023

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), or drones, have gained a lot of popularity over the last decade. The use autonomous drones appears to be viable and low-cost solution problems in many applications. Path planning capabilities are essential for control systems. An drone must able rapidly compute feasible energy-efficient paths avoid collisions. In this study, we review two key aspects path planning: environmental representation generation techniques. Common techniques analyzed, their limitations highlighted. Finally, thirty-five highly cited publications identify current trends research. We then these results factors that need addressed future studies order develop practical planner drones.

The landscape of public procurement research: a bibliometric analysis and topic modelling based on Scopus

Journal of Public Procurement, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 23(2), С. 145 - 178

Опубликована: Март 15, 2023

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the structure and dynamics academic articles relating public procurement (PP) in period 1984–2022 (up May). researchers also intend analyse how knowledge domain has grown since 1984. Design/methodology/approach A bibliometric analysis was carried out examine existing state PP research. Based on 640 journal indexed Scopus database written by 1,247 authors over nearly four decades, a conducted reveal intellectual works pertaining PP. Findings that research from significantly increased past decade. Major journals publishing are International Journal Procurement Management , Cleaner Production Purchasing Supply Public Money . Results indicate authors’ cooperation network fragmented, showing limited collaboration among researchers. In addition, results suggest institutional mirrors what commonly referred as North–South divide, signifying insufficient between developed developing countries’ institutions. According co-occurrence keyword topic modelling, revolves around five main themes, including innovation, corruption, sustainable green PP, contracts small medium enterprises. these results, several directions for future suggested. Social implications This paper provides an understanding entire field potential directions. Originality/value To best knowledge, first-ever application techniques modelling development 1984 based scholarly publications extracted database.

Internet of Things and Wireless Sensor Networks for Smart Agriculture Applications: A Survey

IEEE Access, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 11, С. 145813 - 145852

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2023

The increasing food scarcity necessitates sustainable agriculture achieved through automation to meet the growing demand. Integrating Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is crucial in enhancing production across various agricultural domains, encompassing irrigation, soil moisture monitoring, fertilizer optimization control, early-stage pest crop disease management, energy conservation. application protocols such as ZigBee, WiFi, SigFox, LoRaWAN are commonly employed collect real-time data for monitoring purposes. Embracing advanced technology imperative ensure efficient annual production. Therefore, this study emphasizes a comprehensive, future-oriented approach, delving into IoT-WSNs, wireless network protocols, their applications since 2019. It thoroughly discusses overview IoT WSNs, architectures summarization protocols. Furthermore, addresses recent issues challenges related IoT-WSNs proposes mitigation strategies. provides clear recommendations future, emphasizing integration aiming contribute future development smart systems.

Crop Monitoring in Smallholder Farms Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to Facilitate Precision Agriculture Practices: A Scoping Review and Bibliometric Analysis

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 15(4), С. 3557 - 3557

Опубликована: Фев. 15, 2023

In this study, we conducted a scoping review and bibliometric analysis to evaluate the state-of-the-art regarding actual applications of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technologies guide precision agriculture (PA) practices within smallholder farms. UAVs have emerged as one most promising tools monitor crops PA improve agricultural productivity promote sustainable optimal use critical resources. However, there is need understand how for what purposes these are being applied Using Biblioshiny VOSviewer, 23 peer-reviewed articles from Scopus Web Science were analyzed acquire greater perspective on emerging topical research focus area. The results investigations revealed that largely been used monitoring crop growth development, guiding fertilizer management, mapping but also potential facilitate other practices. Several factors may moderate technologies. due continuous technological advancements reductions in ownership operational costs, remains much cause optimism future associated inform policy, planning, decision-making.

Опубликована: Янв. 9, 2023

As the world population is expected to touch 9.73 billion by 2050, according Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), demand for agricultural needs increasing proportionately. Smart replacing conventional farming systems, employing advanced technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) ensure higher productivity precise agriculture management overcome food demand. In recent years, there has been an increased interest in researchers within Agriculture. Previous literature reviews have also conducted similar bibliometric analyses; however, a lack research Operations Research (OR) insights into This paper conducts Bibliometric Analysis past work OR knowledge which done over last two decades 4.0, understand trends gaps. Biblioshiny, data mining tool, was used conducting analysis on total number 1,305 articles collected from Scopus database between years 2000–2022. Researchers decision makers will be able visualize how newer theories are being applied they can contribute toward some gaps highlighted this review paper. While governments policymakers benefit through understanding Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) robotic units farms optimize resource allocation. Nations that arid climate conditions would informed satellite imagery mapping assist them detecting irrigation lands their scarce resources.
