Abstract

From the earliest time to the present, humans have sought to extend their reach by designing new tools and gadgets. Weather balloons have been used for over 150 years to carry meteorologic instruments for weather prediction, storm forecasting, and climate change research. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, were initially developed as radio-controlled aircraft during the First World War. Nowadays, UAVs are used in agriculture, construction, insurance, and infrastructure inspection, and the commercial market of drones has been fast growing [1] . Drones are also very helpful in public sectors and have been used in search and rescue tasks, such as spotting a missing person in mountainous terrain or dropping a lifesaving vest to a person in danger of drowning at sea.

高空机器人延伸我们的触角 [编辑手记］

从古至今，人类一直试图通过设计新的工具和小玩意来扩大自己的影响力。150 多年来，人们一直使用气象气球携带气象仪器，用于天气预测、风暴预报和气候变化研究。无人驾驶飞行器（UAV）又称无人机，最初是在第一次世界大战期间作为无线电遥控飞机发展起来的。如今，无人机已被用于农业、建筑、保险和基础设施检测，无人机的商业市场也在快速增长[1]。无人机在公共部门也大有用武之地，已被用于搜索和救援任务，如在山区发现失踪人员或向海上面临溺水危险的人员投放救生衣。

期刊介绍： IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine is a unique technology publication which is peer-reviewed, readable and substantive. The Magazine is a forum for articles which fall between the academic and theoretical orientation of scholarly journals and vendor sponsored trade publications. IEEE Transactions on Robotics and IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering publish advances in theory and experiment that underpin the science of robotics and automation. The Magazine complements these publications and seeks to present new scientific results to the practicing engineer through a focus on working systems and emphasizing creative solutions to real-world problems and highlighting implementation details. The Magazine publishes regular technical articles that undergo a peer review process overseen by the Magazine''s associate editors; special issues on important and emerging topics in which all articles are fully reviewed but managed by guest editors; tutorial articles written by leading experts in their field; and regular columns on topics including education, industry news, IEEE RAS news, technical and regional activity and a calendar of events.
