Abstract

UAV technologies are currently used in various fields of science and research. They are often used as a means of exploring a selected area. Technological development in the field of UAVs has been significant in recent years, but this technology also has its limits. The main goal of the research was to create a description of the survey kinematics using unmanned aerial vehicles. When surveying the terrain using unmanned aerial vehicles, it is important to know the effect of individual maneuvers on the overall results of the survey and their effectiveness. A model situation has been created, which is based on simplified conditions and is a good approximation of real research. In research and model situations, it was also assumed that the individual means of research work reliably and always find their goal. The model situation also includes two scenarios, which are listed below in the individual subchapters. The obtained theoretical results are applicable in practice and can streamline the UAV research process.
