Tutorial Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have attracted significant attention from industry, government, and academia. To design and implement future UAV systems and applications, researchers and engineers have been working on different UAV functions in domains, such as control, communications, networking, etc. While all these UAV functions require advanced onboard computing capabilities, they are usually designed separately and there is a lack of a general framework to exploit airborne computing for all onboard UAV functions. In this tutorial, the main objective is to address this timely and important issue by exploring a new and cross-disciplinary research area: UAV-based airborne computing. Specifically, we will first systematically analyze existing and emerging UAV applications and, then, demonstrate how airborne computing can help facilitate advanced UAV functions and UAV applications. Based on such analysis, we discuss and summarize important design guidelines for future generations of UAV systems with airborne computing capabilities. We also introduce our latest design of a general UAV-based airborne computing platform and demonstrate various applications using the computing prototype. Finally, we will invite the audience to participate in interactive experiments using our prototype, and we will discuss open issues and important future directions before concluding the tutorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
