Lighter than Air RobotsIntroduction

Lighter than Air Robots: Introduction [An aerial robot is a system capable of sustained flight with no direct human control and able to perform a specific task. A Lighter Than Air Robot (LTAR) is an unmanned lighter than air vehicle with sufficient autonomy. Robotic airships can also be called Aerobot. Lighter-Than-Air-Vehicles are becoming more popular in aerial missions. A Lighter Than Air Robot behaves and functions differently to a heavier than air craft: airplane and helicopter. It does not require any motor action to maintain a certain altitude and position in the space as it relies on low density gas inside the envelope to balance its own weight. It uses buoyancy to float in the air.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[An aerial robot is a system capable of sustained flight with no direct human control and able to perform a specific task. A Lighter Than Air Robot (LTAR) is an unmanned lighter than air vehicle with sufficient autonomy. Robotic airships can also be called Aerobot. Lighter-Than-Air-Vehicles are becoming more popular in aerial missions. A Lighter Than Air Robot behaves and functions differently to a heavier than air craft: airplane and helicopter. It does not require any motor action to maintain a certain altitude and position in the space as it relies on low density gas inside the envelope to balance its own weight. It uses buoyancy to float in the air.]
