Toward Energy-Aware Programming for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Yu David Liu, Lukasz Ziarek · 2017
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are an emerging platform with promising applications in merchandise delivery, geographical surveillance, disaster management, to name a few. Energy consumption is a first-class concern in UAV design, as the majority of today's lightweight UAVs are either battery-powered or solar-powered. In this talk, we describe a first step toward developing sustainable tasks and applications, through a sustainability-aware programming level to the domain of UAV software development.
