International Journal of Intelligent Machines and Robotics (IJIMR)

Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Intelligent Autopilot Drone Robot for De-Mossing Ramped Roofs   Order a copy of this article
    by Srinjoy Sanyal 
    Abstract: Since their inception, drones have helped mankind perform tasks that were nearly impossible before. Sometimes, these tasks may prove to be dangerous for humans, especially when exposure to radioactive materials, dangerous chemicals, etc. are required. Some operations might require access to locations that are barely reachable to humans. While numerous examples of such scenarios may be witnessed in the industrial sector, there are a plethora of applications of drones in the domestic sector that can contribute to enhance and simplify quality of lives significantly. In the paradigm of smart cities and smart homes, robotic drones can be a key proponent. In this scientific paper the components that constitute these domestic drones as well as the technologies that are utilized are first portrayed. Further the technical details of an Arduino based auto-pilot drone to de-moss roofs are presented. The drone would hover over horizontal or ramped roofs following a trajectory that is auto-determined according to the roof dimensions.
