It is shown how to model a cooperative path planning system for multiple autonomous air vehicles within the framework of a stochastic (dynamic programming) decision process. The proposed approach allows the vehicles to cooperate and find near-optimal search paths over a given environment in the presence of uncertainty and constraints on movement and computational power.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
