Overview of Autonomous Unmanned Systems

Since the beginning of the 21st century, research in the intelligent systems had gained tremendous popularity as various technologies such as the micro-electronics technology, the intelligent sensor technology, the advanced intelligent control technology and other information technology, especially with the recent breakthrough in the field of deep learning, neural network and other artificial intelligence, had seen incredible advancement. It is worthwhile to note that the development of the intelligent technology is closely related to the current low-cost and high-speed data computing and storage capabilities. For instance, the network communication technology that had been applied in the military, industrial, medical and other relevant fields, had proven outstanding performance which result in the increased trust, and hence, attention on the intelligent unmanned systems. It can be predicted that the intelligent unmanned systems will become the commanding point of science and technology in the near future and an indicator of a country’s scientific and technological international status.
