Abstract The main focus and emphasis of this monograph has been on the bio-inspired computation in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), such as path planning for single UAV and multiple UAVs, formation flight control and formation configuration, heterogeneous cooperative control for multiple UAVs/UGVs, and vision-based surveillance and navigation problems. Despite the fact that we have witnessed significant advances in the UAV in the last few years, new and novel concepts and technologies are required to transcend to higher levels of autonomy. To this end, new development trends, such as small air vehicle, air-breathing hyposonic vehicles, and system integration, are discussed. We attempt to provide insightful sources for the researchers and scholars who have interests in bio-inspired computation for UAVs from three aspects: achieving higher autonomous capability, enhancing the ability to understand and adapt to the environment, and cooperative control of multiple autonomous vehicles.
