Specification and Planning of Interactive UAV Missions in Adversarial Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, specification and planning of UAV missions, in which interaction with the operators, adversaries, and the environment plays a crucial role, are studied. A novel specification method is introduced to model interactive tasks in UAV missions and process algebra framework is used to model complex interactive tasks from relatively simple ones. An anytime state-space search algorithm is proposed. The algorithm effectively searches for a feasible solution and improves on such solution over time, eventually terminating with an optimal solution.

Robotic Strategic Behavior in Adversarial Environments
The presence of robots in areas containing threats is becoming more prevalent, due to their ability to perform missions accurately, efficiently, and with little risk to humans. Having the robots handle adversarial forces in missions such as search and rescue, intelligence gathering, border protection and humanitarian assistance, raises many new, exciting research challenges. This paper describe...
متن کاملFlight Demonstrations of Cooperative Control for UAV Teams
This paper discusses the development and testing of a unique testbed consisting of a fleet of eight autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that was designed as a platform for evaluating autonomous coordination and control algorithms. Future UAV teams will have to autonomously demonstrate cooperative behaviors in dynamic and uncertain environments, and this testbed can be used to compare var...
متن کاملTowards a graphical language for quadrotor missions
This paper presents an approach for defining Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) missions on a high level. Current methods for UAV mission specification are evaluated and their deficiencies are analyzed. From these findings, a new graphical specification language for UAV missions is proposed, which is targeted towards typical UAV users from various domains rather than computer science experts. The re...
متن کاملRobust Planning for Heterogeneous UAVs in Uncertain Environments
Future Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) missions will require the vehicles to exhibit a greater level of autonomy than is currently implemented. While UAVs have mainly been used in reconnaissance missions, future UAVs will have more sophisticated objectives, such as Suppression of Enemy Air Defense (SEAD) and coordinated strike missions. As the complexity of these objectives increases and higher l...
متن کاملRobust Trajectory Planning for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Uncertain Environments
As unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) take on more prominent roles in aerial missions, it becomes necessary to increase the level of autonomy available to them within the mission planner. In order to complete realistic mission scenarios, the UAV must be capable of operating within a complex environment, which may include obstacles and other no-fly zones. Additionally, the UAV must be able to overc...
