The Multiple Drone-Delivery Scheduling Problem (MDSP) is a scheduling problem that optimizes the maximum reward earned by a set of $m$ drones executing a sequence of deliveries on a truck delivery route. The current best-known approximation…

Due to recent booming of UAVs technologies, these are being used in many fields involving complex tasks. Some of them involve a high risk to the vehicle driver, such as fire monitoring and rescue tasks, which make UAVs excellent for…

Sequential decision problems in applications such as manipulation in warehouses, multi-step meal preparation, and routing in autonomous vehicle networks often involve reasoning about uncertainty, planning over discrete modes as well as…

Drone fleets with onboard cameras coupled with computer vision and DNN inferencing models can support diverse applications. One such novel domain is for one or more buddy drones to assist Visually Impaired People (VIPs) lead an active…

This work describes the orchestration of a fleet of rotary-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for harvesting prioritized traffic from random distributions of heterogeneous users with Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) capabilities. In…

This paper addresses path planning of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with remote sensing capabilities (or wireless communication capabilities). The goal of the path planning is to find a minimum-flight-time closed tour of the UAV visiting…

Route planning for multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is a series of translation and rotational steps from a given start location to the destination goal location. The goal of the route planning problem is to determine the most…
