Leveraging AI in robotics and unmanned
systems, cybersecurity and protection and
information superiority has boosted the
global supply of robots and unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs), resulting in decreased unit
prices. Moreover, the latest innovations in
this field are driving the development of
new safety and security applications and
facilitating unmanned patrolling operations.
