      Preface

      Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become one of the rapidly growing areas of technology, with widespread applications covering various domains. UAVs play a very important role in delivering Internet of Things (IoT) services in small and low-power devices such as sensors, cameras, GPS receivers, etc. These devices are energy-constrained and are unable to communicate over long distances. The UAVs work dynamically for IoT applications in which they collect data and transmit it to other devices that are out of the communication range. Furthermore, the benefits of the UAV include deployment at remote locations, the ability to carry flexible payloads, reprogrammability during tasks, and the ability to sense for anything from anywhere. Using IoT technologies, a UAV may be observed as a terminal device connected in the ubiquitous network, where many other UAVs are communicating, navigating, controlling, and surveilling in real time and beyond line-of-sight.

      However, many significant research challenges should be addressed before bringing such UAV capabilities into practice. The aim of this book is to explore the theoretical as well as technical research outcomes of all aspects of UAVs. The UAV has drastically altered the perspectives of users, practitioners, and researchers in many fields of application such as disaster management, structural inspection, goods delivery, transportation, localization, mapping, pollution and radiation monitoring, search and rescue, farming, etc. The advancements introduced by UAVs are countless and have led the way for the full integration of UAVs as intelligent objects in the IoT.

      This book helps to realize the full potential of the UAV for the IoT by addressing its numerous concepts, issues and challenges, and develops conceptual and technological solutions for handling them. It is comprised of 15 chapters authored by various renowned experts in the UAV and IoT fields. The book is organized as follows:

      Chapter 1 presents a comprehensive survey of UAVs. The communication standards, workings, and various
