چکیده

In this paper a model and algorithmic solution are created to control the path planning decision processes of multiple cooperating autonomous aerial vehicles engaged in a search of an uncertain and risky environment. Methods to incorporate a priori and dynamic information about the targets and to incorporate threats in a three-dimensional environment into a computationally feasible dynamic programming approach are provided. Some basic simulation results demonstrate the functionality of this approach, and provide a baseline for future work.

UAV-assisted Cooperative Communications with Wireless Information and Power Transfer

In this paper, we focus on a typical cooperative communication system with one pair of source and destination, where a unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flying from a start location to an end location serves as a mobile relay. To efficiently utilize energy in ambient environment, the UAV’s transmission capability is powered exclusively by radio signal transmitted from the source via the power-split...

Swarm Control of UAVs for Cooperative Hunting with DDDAS

Swarm control is a problem of increasing importance with technological advancements. Recently, governments have begun employing UAVs for reconnaissance, including swarms of drones searching for evasive targets. An agent-based simulation for dynamic cooperative cleaning is augmented with additional behaviors and implemented into a Dynamic Data-Driven Application System (DDDAS) framework for dyna...

Immunity-Based Adaptive Genetic Algorithm for Multi-robot Cooperative Exploration

The key to multi-robot exploration is how to select appropriate targets for robots to avoid collision and overlap. However, the distribution of targets for multiple robots is an NP hard problem. This paper presents a multirobot cooperative exploration strategy based on the immune genetic algorithm. With its random global searching and parallel processing, genetic algorithm is applied for multi-...

Cooperation in risky environments: Decisions from experience in a stochastic social dilemma

Often in cooperative situations, many aspects of the decisionmaking environment are uncertain. We investigate how cooperation is shaped by the way information about risk is presented (from description or from experience) and by differences in risky environments. Drawing on research from risky choice, we compare choices in stochastic social dilemmas to those in lotteries with equivalent levels o...

A Fuzzy-Logic Based Chaos GA for Cooperative Foraging of Multi-Robots in Unknown Environments

This paper investigates the foraging of multiple robots in completely unknown environments. The onboard robot sensor information and expert knowledge of foraging are used to forage the targets. The foraging problem in this paper is defined as a searching task, where the robots cooperate to find and reach all the targets in an efficient way. A novel fuzzy-logic based chaos genetic algorithm (FCG...
