The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

DroNet: Learning to Fly by Driving (2018, background): “surveillance, construction monitoring, delivery, and emergency response [1], [2], [3].”
The current state and future outlook of rescue robotics (2019, methodology): “Part of the push for the technological development on ground robots is due to their increasing deployment in natural disaster scenarios (Michael et al., 2012; Nagatani et al., 2013).”
Estimation, Control, and Planning for Aggressive Flight With a Small Quadrotor With a Single Camera and IMU (2017, background): “M ICRO Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) equipped with on-board sensors, are ideal platforms for autonomous navigation in complex and confined environments for solving tasks such as exploration [1], inspection [2], [3], mapping [4], interaction with the environment [5], [6] and, search and rescue [7].”
Multiple‐Robot Simultaneous Localization and Mapping: A Review (2016, background): “present a very good example of a team of heterogenous robots (see Figure 8), including a quadrotor and two ground robots, which map a multifloor earthquake-damaged building collaboratively (Michael et al., 2012).”
