Global Optimization of UAV Area Coverage Path Planning Based on Good Point Set and Genetic Algorithm
Aerospace, 2022 When performing area coverage tasks in some special scenarios, fixed-wing aircraft conventionally adopt the scan-type of path planning, where the distance between two adjacent tracks is usually less than the minimum turning radius of the aircraft.

Area Coverage With Multiple Capacity-Constrained Robots [PDF]
IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2022 The area coverage problem is the task of efficiently servicing a given two-dimensional surface using sensors mounted on robots such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). We present a novel formulation for generating coverage routes for multiple capacity-constrained robots, where capacity can be specified in terms of ...

Privately protected areas increase global protected area coverage and connectivity
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2022 Privately protected areas (PPAs) are increasing in number and extent. Yet, we know little about their contribution to conservation and how this compares to other forms of protected area (PA). We address this gap by assessing the contribution of 17,561 PPAs to the coverage, complementarity and connectivity of existing PA networks in 15 countries across ...

Robust Area Coverage with Connectivity Maintenance [PDF]
2019 International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2019 Robot swarms herald the ability to solve complex tasks using a large collection of simple devices. However, engineering a robotic swarm is far from trivial, with a major hurdle being the definition of the control laws leading to the desired globally coordinated behavior.
