The application of this technology for visual aircraft inspection tasks within a maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) hangar necessitates efficient perception and obstacle avoidance capabilities to ensure a reliable navigation experience. The present reliance on manual labour, static processes, and outdated technologies limits operation efficiency in the inherently dynamic and increasingly complex nature of the real-world hangar environment. The challenging environment limits the practical application of conventional methods and real-time adaptability to changes. In response to these challenges, recent years research efforts have witnessed advancement with machine learning integration aimed at enhancing navigational capability in both static and dynamic scenarios. However, most of these studies have not been specific to the MRO hangar environment, but related challenges have been addressed, and applicable solutions have been developed. This paper provides a comprehensive review of learning-based strategies with an emphasis on advancements in deep learning, object detection, and the integration of multiple approaches to create hybrid systems. The review delineates the application of learning-based methodologies to real-time navigational tasks, encompassing environment perception, obstacle detection, avoidance, and path planning through the use of vision-based sensors. The concluding section addresses the prevailing challenges and prospective development directions in this domain.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24051377","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,21]],"date-time":"2024-02-21T04:23:10Z","timestamp":1708489390000},"page":"1377","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Advancements in Learning-Based Navigation Systems for Robotic Applications in MRO Hangar: Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1608-0143","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ndidiamaka","family":"Adiuku","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Integrated Vehicle Health Management Centre (IVHM), School of Aerospace, Transport and Manufacturing, Cranfield University, Bedfordshire MK43 0AL, UK"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1314-0603","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicolas P.","family":"Avdelidis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Integrated Vehicle Health Management Centre (IVHM), School of Aerospace, Transport and Manufacturing, Cranfield University, Bedfordshire MK43 0AL, UK"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5497-7269","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gilbert","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Robotics and Assembly, School of Aerospace, Transport and Manufacturing (SATM), Cranfield University, Bedfordshire MK43 0AL, UK"}]},{"given":"Angelos","family":"Plastropoulos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Integrated Vehicle Health Management Centre (IVHM), School of Aerospace, Transport and Manufacturing, Cranfield University, Bedfordshire MK43 0AL, UK"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"26","DOI":"10.18775\/jibrm.1849-8558.2015.54.3004","article-title":"Deployment of Prognostics to Optimize Aircraft Maintenance\u2014A Literature Review","volume":"5","author":"Sprong","year":"2020","journal-title":"J.
