Abstract:Autonomous robotic teams have been proposed for a variety of lost-person searches in wilderness and urban settings. In the latter scenarios, for missing persons, the application of such teams, however, is more challenging than it would be in the wilderness. This paper, specifically, examines the application of an autonomous team of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to perform a sparse, mobile-target search in an urban setting. A novel multi-UAV search-trajectory planning method, which relies on the prediction of… Show more
