We present a demonstration of service-based trajectory planning for a drone delivery system in a multi-drone skyway network. We conduct several experiments using Crazyflie drones to collect the drone's position data, wind speed and…

As urban logistics demand continues to grow, UAV delivery has become a key solution to improve delivery efficiency, reduce traffic congestion, and lower logistics costs. However, to fully leverage the potential of UAV delivery networks,…

This study presents an innovative solution for powering electric vehicles, named Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS), that concerns the potential large-scale adoption of light-duty electric vehicles (LDEV) in the Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS)…

This paper presents an agent-based simulation model for coordinating battery recharging in drone swarms, focusing on applications in Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0 environments. The proposed model includes a detailed description…

We consider the problem of optimizing the distribution operations at a drone hub that dispatches drones to different geographic locations generating stochastic demands for medical supplies. Drone delivery is an innovative method that…

Swarm in Blocks, originally developed for CopterHack 2022, is a high-level interface that simplifies drone swarm programming using a block-based language. Building on the Clover platform, this tool enables users to create functionalities…

Future unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) will be shared by multiple users and will have to operate in conditions where their fully-autonomous function is required. Calculation of a drones trajectory will be important but optimal…

Traditional unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm missions rely heavily on expensive custom-made drones with onboard perception or external positioning systems, limiting their widespread adoption in research and education. To address this…

Autonomous modeling of artificial swarms is necessary because manual creation is a time intensive and complicated procedure which makes it impractical. An autonomous approach employing deep reinforcement learning is presented in this study…

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 pandemic. This paper addresses a new challenge of multi-parcel…

Drones are currently seen as a viable way for improving the distribution of parcels in urban and rural environments, while working in coordination with traditional vehicles like trucks. In this paper we consider the parallel drone…

The application of drones in the last-mile distribution is a research hotspot in recent years. Different from the previous urban distribution mode that depends on trucks, this paper proposes a novel package pick-up and delivery mode and…

In this paper we consider a problem related to deliveries assisted by an unmanned aerial vehicle, so-called drone. In particular we consider the Flying Sidekick Traveling Salesman Problem, where a truck and a drone cooperate to delivery…

Efficient traffic monitoring is crucial for managing urban transportation networks, especially under congested and dynamically changing traffic conditions. Drones offer a scalable and cost-effective alternative to fixed sensor networks.…
