Yasmina Bestaoui Sebbane earned her PhD in
Control and Computer engineering from Ecole Nationale Superieure de
Mecanique, Nantes, France, in 1989 (Currently Ecole Centrale de
Nantes) and the Habilitation to Direct Research in Robotics, from
the University of Evry, France, in 2000.
She is with the Electrical Engineering Department of the University
of EVRY since 1999. From 1989 to 1998, she was with the Mechanical
Engineering Department of the University of NANTES. From September
1997 till July 1998, she was a Visiting Associate Professor in the
Computer Science department at the Naval Post Graduate School,
Monterey, California, USA.
Her research interests include control, planning, and decision
making of unmanned systems, particularly unmanned aerial vehicles
and robots. She is the author of two other books: Lighter than Air
Robots (Springer) and Planning and Decision Making for Aerial
Robots (Springer).
"Smart Autonomous Aircraft gives an interdisciplinary point of view
on autonomous aircraft. It develops models and reviews different
methodologies of control and planning used to create smart
autonomous aircraft. Some case studies are examined as well. An
ideal resource for researchers and practitioners working on
solutions for implementing advanced capabilities in UA V s, Smart
Autonomous Aircraft details the mathematical underpinnings of each
concept and includes illustrative case studies to reinforce
understanding. The topics considered in the book are derived from
Sebbane's research and teaching duties in smart aerospace and
autonomous systems over several years. Some parts are based on the
top literature in the field. Assuming an understanding of
engineering at the undergraduate level, Smart Autonomous Aircraft
is suitable for advanced-level graduate students and PhD students
enrolled in UAV or aerial robotics courses, as well as
researchers.
