Researchers have developed PrefDT, a novel preference-conditioned Decision Transformer designed for multi-objective scheduling in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) fleets operating in mobile edge computing (MEC) environments. This system aims to optimize the trade-off between energy consumption and delay, allowing a single trained model to dynamically adjust schedules at runtime based on desired performance points. PrefDT utilizes attention pooling for state summarization and incorporates a distillation pipeline to generate training data, outperforming 26 other methods in simulations by maintaining energy budgets within 0.6% even when propulsion costs increase mid-flight.
