Coordinated Multi-Drone Last-mile Delivery: Learning Strategies for Energy-aware and Timely Operations
Chuhao Qin, Arun Narayanan, Evangelos Pournaras
Drones have recently emerged as a faster, safer, and cost-efficient way for last-mile deliveries of parcels, particularly for urgent medical deliveries highlighted during the pande…
M-SET: Multi-Drone Swarm Intelligence Experimentation with Collision Avoidance Realism
Chuhao Qin, Alexander Robins, Callum Lillywhite-Roake +5
Distributed sensing by cooperative drone swarms is crucial for several Smart City applications, such as traffic monitoring and disaster response. Using an indoor lab with inexpensi…
Strategic Coordination of Drones via Short-term Distributed Optimization and Long-term Reinforcement Learning
Chuhao Qin, Evangelos Pournaras
This paper addresses the problem of autonomous task allocation by a swarm of autonomous, interactive drones in large-scale, dynamic spatio-temporal environments. When each drone in…
Coordination of Drones at Scale: Decentralized Energy-aware Swarm Intelligence for Spatio-temporal Sensing
Chuhao Qin, Evangelos Pournaras
Smart City applications, such as traffic monitoring and disaster response, often use swarms of intelligent and cooperative drones to efficiently collect sensor data over different…
