“…Studies that favor this strategy include Novy (2001), Zabarankin, Uryasev, and Pardalos (2002), and Ahmadzadeh, Keller, Pappas, Jadbabaie, and Kumar (2008). The issue with this methodology is that it can be a challenge when modeling, and whose complexity increases even further when constraints are added (Carlyle, Royset, & Kevin Wood, 2008).…”

“…[ Ahmadzadeh et al, 2006] proposed a coverage algorithm for surveillance using a fleet of UAVs. Their proposal takes into account the limited maneuverability of the aerial platforms and visibility constraints on the body-fixed cameras imposed by the application at hand.…”

Coverage Path Planning (CPP) is the task of determining a path that passes over all points of an area or volume of interest while avoiding obstacles. This task is integral to many robotic applications, such as vacuum cleaning robots, painter robots, autonomous underwater vehicles creating image mosaics, demining robots, lawn mowers, automated harvesters, window cleaners and inspection of complex structures, just to name a few. A considerable body of research has addressed the CPP problem. However, no updated surveys on CPP reflecting recent advances in the field have been presented in the past ten years. In this paper, we present a review of the most successful CPP methods, focusing in the achievements made in the past decade. Furthermore, we discuss reported field applications of the described CPP methods. This work aims to become a starting point for researchers who are initiating their endeavors in CPP. Likewise, this work aims to present a comprehensive review of the recent breakthroughs in the field, providing links to the most interesting and successful works.

“…In Murray (2007), a survey of recent research in cooperative control of multi-vehicle systems is presented. Many applications in military and civil domains have been developed, including formation flights or swarms (Jadbabaie et al (2003)), cooperative attack and rendez-vous (Chandler et al (2001)), or wide area coverage (Ahmadzadeh et al (2006)). Approaches have been developed in Onera DCPS that ensure simultaneously collision avoidance and flock regulation (Rochefort et al (2011)).…”
