UGV-UAVs plan cooperative paths in uncertain environments for disaster response

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new framework for cooperative path planning between unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in uncertain environments. This system is designed for scenarios like disaster response, where a UGV needs to navigate an unknown road network. UAVs dynamically inspect the environment to identify impassable routes, allowing the UGV to find a safe path. The study evaluated strategies including a bidirectional approach and the impact of using multiple UAVs, finding the bidirectional method most effective and multiple UAVs reducing travel time at a computational cost.

    Dynamic UGV-UAV Cooperative Path Planning in Uncertain Environments

    This paper addresses the Dynamic UGV-UAV Cooperative Path Planning (DUCPP) problem involving one unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) assisted by one or more unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) operating on an uncertain road network with potentially impassable edges. DUCPP is particularly r…
