One of the most relevant problems related to Unmanned Aerial Vehicle's (UAV) autonomous navigation for industrial inspection is localization or pose estimation relative to significant elements of the environment. This paper analyzes two different approaches in this regard, focusing on its application to unstructured scenarios where objects of considerable size are present, such as a truck, a wind tower, an airplane, a building, etc. The presented methods require a previously developed Computer-Aided Design (CAD) model of the main object to be inspected.

Different ways of understanding system transparency in human-robot interaction can be found in the state of the art. In one of the most common interpretations of the term, transparency is the observability and predictability of the system behavior, the understanding of what the system is doing, why, and what it will do next. Since the main methods to improve this kind of transparency are based on interface design and training, transparency is usually considered a property of such interfaces, while natural language explanations are a popular way to achieve transparent interfaces.

- The study examines two models for adjusting the autonomy of mobile robots to optimize operator interaction and manage multiple robots effectively.
- It explores flexible adjustable autonomy as a solution to the high workload associated with traditional adjustable autonomy, proposing it as a way to reduce operator burden.
- Results show that a flexible model outperforms the classic model, allowing a single operator to manage a team of robots more efficiently while improving overall performance.
