Abstract Dynamic area coverage with small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems is one of the major research topics due to limited payloads and the difficulty of decentralized decision-making process. Collaborative behavior of a group of UAVs in an unknown environment is another hard problem to be solved. In this paper, we propose a method for decentralized execution of multi-UAVs for dynamic area coverage problems. The proposed decentralized decision-making dynamic area coverage (DDMDAC) method utilizes reinforcement learning (RL) where each UAV is represented by an intelligent agent that learns policies to create collaborative behaviors in partially observable… More >
