34、ternational and AUVSI are pleased to present the reader with Autonomous Technologies: Applications That Matter. Focusing on nonmilitary use of autonomous mobile devices, the two organizations have teamed and invited authors from multiple areas of expertise to discuss how the concept of “autonomy” is

35、 becoming a more natural t with the way we live. From the use of domestic and commercial robots to do tasks such as cleaning and grass mowing, to automated farming, maritime applications, and environmental monitoring (which affects all of us), Autonomous Technologies: Applications That Matter looks

36、at the new opportunities and challenges we are already dealing with: Can we trust driverless cars? And who is responsible for keeping the boundaries on privacy issues clear and straight? Will we become more efcient if we embed autonomous platooning in moving cargo and freight? In addition to gaining

37、 efciency, these technologies also have powerful market incentives. In 2013, a study by Morgan Stanley indicated that self-driving cars could contribute a staggering $5.6 trillion in annual savings around the world. An AUVSI study, also published in 2013, found that unmanned aircraft, employed in th

38、e agriculture sector, could create more than 100,000 jobs in the rst decade after airspace integration, with more than $82.1 billion in revenue in the United States alone. Interestingly enough, most of these “autonomy angles” touch upon one common thread: the exponentially growing world of sensors.

39、Ever more precise and dedicated sensors are making data acquisition and decision support much easier and more informed, too. The scope of this book is practical rather than theoretical, opening the door to future contri- butions to complement it. For now, we kindly thank our authors and reviewers fo

40、r the work and commitment to this project and willingness to share their knowledge. We hope the readers will nd Autonomous Technologies: Applications That Matter useful, easy to read, and a rst, positive step into the realm of autonomous technologies. Sincerely, S A E I n t e r n a t i o n a l AUVSI

41、 xi Introduction William Messner, Tufts University My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there. Charles Kettering What a difference 10 years make! When the U.S. governments Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) announced its “DARPA Grand Challenge” i

42、n 2002, offering a U.S. $1 million prize for an autonomous vehicle to drive over 100 miles across the Mojave Desert in less than 10 hours, the task was widely considered to be impossible. At the rst running of the event in March 2004, none of the entrants came close to completing the course. A decad

43、e later, not only have autonomous vehicles met the DARPA Grand Challenge and the DARPA Urban Challenge, but there are credible predictions by major automotive manufacturers of the widespread deployment of autonomous vehicles by 2025, and perhaps even earlier. The rapid advances in technology and qui

44、ck acceptance by consumers have changed the conver- sation from “if” to “when,” with respect to automated civilian driving. The DARPA Challenges galvanized interest in autonomous cars, making them a realistic possibility in the mind of the public, but autonomous and unmanned vehicles have been incre

45、asingly employed in many roles on land, in the water, and in the air over the last 20 years. Military applications have received a great deal of attention, with weaponized unmanned aircraft (drones) being the most prominent. However, unmanned vehicles with varying degrees of autonomy already have ma

46、ny civilian applications. Some of these are quite familiar (such as the Roomba autonomous vacuum cleaner), while others remain largely out of the public eye (such as autonomous farm equipment). Additional applications and more capable vehicles will be rapidly coming to the markets in the years ahead

47、. This book examines a number of economically important areas in which unmanned and autonomous vehicles (also understood here as autonomous technologies) are already in use or soon will be. The intended audience of this book is the technical manager (and curious consumer) who must make decisions abo

48、ut the development of products by their company or the purchase of equipment and systems, or who anticipate changes in their industry. SAE International and AUVSI, co-publishers of this title, believe that the chapters, briey described below, provide the information that will assist the reader in id

49、entifying protable opportunities and avoiding costly misconceptions with respect to civilian applications of autonomous vehicle xiii technologies. Autonomous Technologies: Applications That Matter brings together chapters on how air, water, and ground vehicles are becoming ever more used and appreciated. Since many civilian applications are on land, it is natural that the majority of the chapters pertain to ground vehicles. There are separate chapters on passenger cars, commercial freight hauling, agriculture, and mowing and landscaping that we believ
