Efficient Swarm Robotic Persistent Surveillance by use of Stigmergy

Persistent surveillance is the act of covering an environment persistently, as fast as possible. By exploiting the intelligence of the swarm, it is possible to create a swarm robotic persistent surveillance method that can deal with unknown dynamic environments without the need for complex computations or excessive storage. Using stigmergy,...

Persistent Surveillance of a Greenhouse: Evolved neural network controllers for a swarm of UAVs

With the growing population the agricultural industry needs to find and implement new methods for enhancing food production. Using a Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) in Precision Agriculture (PA) offers a large number of benefits such as enabling the farmer to create targeted strategies to increase crop yield, reduced waste and halt the spread of...
