Fast and Safe Coverage of Unknown Target by a Drone Team
This technology is a novel method of coordinating multi-agent aerial systems like drone teams to cover an unknown target. In this method, communications between agents are used to create a neural network to model ideal paths for each individual agent in a system, ultimately allowing the agents to converge at a desired target. This method is safe, effective,...
