We propose a multi-objective optimization algorithm to allocate tasks and plan paths for a team of UAVs. The UAVs must find a target in a bounded area and then continuously communicate the target information to the ground personnel. Our genetic algorithm approach aims to minimize the mission completion time, which includes the time to find the target (area coverage) and the time to setup a communication...
The days where swarms of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) will occupy our skies are fast approaching due to the introduction of cost-efficient and reliable small aerial vehicles and the increasing demand for use of such vehicles in a plethora of civil applications. Governments and industry alike have been heavily investing in the development of UAVs. As such it is important to understand the characteristics...
The commercial availability of small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) opens new horizons for applications in disaster response, search and rescue, event monitoring, and delivery of goods. An important building block is the wireless communication between UAVs and to base stations. Design of such a wireless network may vary vastly from existing networks due to aerial network characteristics such as high...
Small-scale multicopters operating as autonomous teams in the air are envisioned for aerial monitoring and transport of goods in a variety of applications, including disaster management and environmental monitoring. For such applications to become reality, a high-throughput wireless network is needed. This paper presents experimental performance results with commercially available quadrocopters communicating...
Evolutionary synthesis of combinational digital circuits is a promising research area and many a success has been achieved in this field. This paper presents a new technique for the synthesis of combinational circuits by using Cartesian Genetic Programming (CGP) and uniform NAND gate based templates. Using a uniform gate template implies an ease in the fabrication process but in some instances, the...
