Speech Title: Drone Control by using Artificial Intelligence
 

Abstract: Jan.6, 2020 in CNN, there was a big surprising event in the world, which Pentagonattacked Iranian high military person by Drone. Also, there was another bigevent in the show CES2020 Lasvegas (Jan. 7-10).Ofcourse, there were many mentions about Drone and its importance.Whether we call themUnmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Flying Mini Robots, drones are rapidly growingin popularity. They are still in the infancy stage in terms of mass adoptionand usage except military, but drones have already broken through rigidtraditional barriers in industries, military, delivery, emergency, education,and others. Military usage of drones has become the primary use in today'sworld as mentioned before. Combat, survey missions and search, drone is themost important device have been leading research and development.Transportation usage of drones is growing up as second method. The market forcommercial and civilian drones will grow at a compound annual growth rate(CAGR) of 19% between 2015 and 2020, compared with 5% growth on the militaryside, according to BI Intelligence, Business Insider's premium researchservice.As glowing up drone, Many University establish departmentof drone to teach related technology. Drone technology is constantly evolving,so future drone tech is currently undergoing groundbreaking progressiveimprovement. Here is the breakdown of the technology generations: Generation 1(Basic remote control aircraft of all forms; Generation 2 (Static design Ixedcamera mount video; Generation 2 (Static design Ixed camera mount video underwayas 3DRobotics announced the world's Irst all in one recording and still photos,manual piloting control; Generation 3 (Static design, two-axis gimbals, HDvideo, basic safety models, assisted piloting; Generation 4 (Transformativedesigns, Three-axis gimbals, 1080P HD video or higher-value instrumentation,improved safety modes, autopilot modes); Generation 5 (Transformative designs,360° gimbals, 4K video or higher-value instrumentation, intelligent pilotingmodes); Generation 6 (Commercial suitability, safety and regulatory standardsbased design, platform and payload adaptability, automated safety modes,intelligent piloting models and full autonomy, airspace awareness; Generation 7(Complete commercial suitability, fully compliant safety and regulatorystandards-based design, platform and payload interchangeability, automatedsafety modes, enhanced intelligent piloting models and full autonomy, fullairspace awareness, auto action (takeoL, land, and mission execution).Currently, AI is combining inthis technology to analyze, control, survey. At this point, we should recognizewhy these technologies are important and teach and learn in University. Relatedthis topic, this lecture deals with AI based drone control (PID and fuzzy, andneural network). This describes dynamic, and suggests and proves controltopologies of drone (attitude controller, position controller, X-Y-Z control) throughsimulation.
