摘要

Abstract

Autonomous obstacle avoidance technology for UAVs refers to the ability of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to automatically detect and avoid obstacles without human intervention. This technology is a crucial component of UAV applications

greatly enhancing their safety and reliability by reducing human error-related accidents. Currently

UAV autonomous obstacle avoidance has become one of the most prominent research areas

with significant achievements made by scholars both domestically and internationally. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the current state of research on UAV autonomous obstacle avoidance technologies worldwide

aiming to offer references and insights for related research.
