MultiCopter Design
Picek, Matěj ; Pelikán, Petr (referee) ; Zdařil, Zdeněk (advisor)
In my work, I focused on the design of an electric multicopter for common and advanced users. The main objective was to bring a simple practical solution to the dron, which will correspond to the current functional and aesthetic standards of industrial design in the aircraft industry. Whole concept of the dron is designed to be as user-friendly as possible. Thanks to its simplicity, small dimensions and dron structure, it takes a minimal transport space and is almost instantly ready for use.

Ethical Dilemmas of Using Humanitarian Drones
Pavlíková, Markéta ; Střítecký, Vít (advisor) ; Hynek, Nikola (referee)
Unmanned aircraft vehicles were primarily used for military purposes and are still used for them. Not only for this reason is their introduction for humanitarian aims disputable, raising various dilemmas. Supporters of humanitarian drones put emphasis on/emphasize their speed, security, data amount and the possible employment of new technology in extreme environments. Critics of humanitarian technologization stress the loss of neutrality and impartiality, politicization and militarization of humanitarian aid. Consensus does not even exist amongst academics in the field. Contemporary literature is primarily targeted on the controversy of dual-usage of UAVs and on potential technical advantages with emphasis on immediate assistance. The literature dealing with ethical issues of humanitarian drones in connection to humanitarian and development practice outside the conflict zone is almost absent, and only marginally or indirectly treats the issue. The aim of this paper is to analyse potential advantages and disadvantages of humanitarian drones' proliferation within the theoretical framework of The Code of Conduct for the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and Non-Governmental Organizations in Disaster Relief, which deals with basic dilemmas in humanitarian aid. This thesis does not...

UAVs as a tool in the fight against Al-Qaeda in the context of the U.S. strategic culture: Discourse analysis
Koleják, Martin ; Ludvík, Jan (advisor) ; Hynek, Nikola (referee)
The phenomenon of strategic culture and its influence on the state behaviour has penetrated the theories of international relations only recently. The same stands for unmanned aerial vehicles. The aim of this thesis is to examine how does the United States deploy their UAVs to fight Al-Qaeda in its save heavens located in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. To be specific my intention is to determine what does in this sense the behavior of Obama's administration mean in the context of the U.S. strategic culture. The main research tools utilized in this thesis are discourse analysis and Colin Gray's model of strategic culture. In the public discourse consisting of speeches and comments made by political and military representatives I have identified all the four strategic culture variables set out in the theoretical part of the work. Moreover, the public discourse around drone deployment contains several intriguing metaphors and symbols. Furthermore, the contribution of this work is that it deals with the issue of UAV deployment within the scope of strategic culture. Keywords UAV; drones; strategic culture; Colin Gray; Alastair Johnston; Barack Obama; Al- Qaeda

The use of unmanned aerial vehicles in agriculture.
Starý, Karel ; Kroulík, Milan (advisor) ; Petrásek, Stanislav (referee)
Unmanned aerial vehicles has been a fast developing field over the last couple of years Farmers have been trying to take profit from this development and are interested in various options of applications. Demands on the area of agricultural production have been increasing, especially higher effectivity and the economical aspect of production are in focus. Farmers seek for the information about crop statuses and cattle in pursuit of economical rentability and enviromental sustainability. Due to this awareness farmers can take measures to reach economical profit. In the form of literature review the thesis describes construction types, their power options and the suitability for particular application is evaluated. Furthermore, scanning varieties and particular examples of applications are mentioned.

Survey of ethical and other problems with the use of drones in society
Pavlík, Lukáš ; Zamazal, Ondřej (advisor) ; Sigmund, Tomáš (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the problem of using commercially available drones and follows the ethical and other problems of their use. In this thesis I set four objectives, which contain a the acquaintance with the problems of drones in general and from the viewpoint of artificial intelligence; the acquaintance with ethics in general, from the viewpoint of artificial intelligence and especially in regard to drones; own research of ethical and other problems regarding the use of drones in society; conducting a survey of ethical and other problems with the use of drones in society through questionnaires. I achieved these objectives by studying the problems in detail and then executing two questionnaire surveys and consulting with experts. My contribution to this thesis is the assessment of problems, which are compared with the results from the questionnaires. The work is divided into four chapters where the first chapter focuses on the ethical side. The second part deals with the drones themselves and focuses on the definition of drones. The third part discusses ways of using commercially available drones. Finally, the last chapter is devoted to problems that directly relate to the drones and focuses on the results of the surveys.
