Unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) can be termed as any kind of ground vehicles that have autonomous operation capabilities or can be controlled through a remote location without human presence onboard. The major types of UGV includes fully autonomous and semi-autonomous UGV. The fully autonomous UGV is programmed for a particular task and does not require additional input from the operator, whereas the semi-autonomous UGV needs operators to provide a continuous command for operations. The UGV can also be classified depending upon their range of operations from the base station. The primary application of UGV includes performing tasks that can be dangerous or inconvenient for human operations. They are also used for various operations like surveillance, monitoring and logistics.
