Dynamic UAV swarm deployment for non-uniform coverage: Robotics track
In many monitoring and mapping applications, high-resolution data are required only in certain areas while others can receive lower attention. To this end, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can adjust the flight altitude to increase the resolution only where needed, making non-uniform coverage strategies efficient both in time and energy expenditure. In a multi-UAV monitoring context, it is nece ssary to deploy UAVs to inspect in parallel those areas where a higher resolution is required.
