Based on their working environment, a rough classification of the autonomous vehicles would include unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), and autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs). UAVs, UGVs, AUVs, and ASVs are called UVs (unmanned vehicles) nowadays. In recent decades, the development of unmanned autonomous vehicles have been of great interest, and different kinds of autonomous vehicles have been studied and developed all over the world. In particular, UAVs have many applications in emergency situations; humans often cannot come close to a dangerous natural disaster such as an earthquake, a flood, an active volcano, or a nuclear disaster. Since the development of the first UAVs, research efforts have been focused on military applications. Recently, however, demand has arisen for UAVs such as aero-robots and flying robots that can be used in emergency situations and in industrial applications. Among the wide variety of UAVs that have been developed, small-scale HUAVs (helicopter-based UAVs) have the ability to take off and land vertically as well as the ability to cruise in flight, but their most important capability is hovering. Hovering at a point enables us to make more effective observations of a target. Furthermore, small-scale HUAVs offer the advantages of low cost and easy operation.

perform tedious and risky tasks or to be cost-effective substitutes for their human
counterparts. Based on their working environment, a rough classification of

ground vehicles (UGVs), autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), and
autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs). UAVs, UGVs, AUVs, and ASVs are called
UVs (unmanned vehicles) nowadays. In recent decades, the development of unmanned
autonomous vehicles have been of great interest, and different kinds of
autonomous vehicles have been studied and developed all over the world. In particular,
UAVs have many applications in emergency situations; humans often cannot

volcano, or a nuclear disaster. Since the development of the first UAVs, research
efforts have been focused on military applications. Recently, however, demand has
