UAV route planning for environmental monitoring reviewed

A systematic literature review is underway to synthesize research on autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) route planning for environmental monitoring. The review, following the PRISMA 2020 framework, has screened over 400 studies published between 2015 and 2026. Preliminary findings indicate a focus on coverage optimization and multi-UAV coordination, with less attention paid to environmental factors like weather and obstacles. A significant portion of the research relies on simulations, suggesting a potential gap between simulated and real-world performance. AI
