This letter tackles the problem of planning minimum-energy coverage paths for multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The addressed Multi-UAV Coverage Path Planning (mCPP) is a crucial problem for many UAV applications such as inspection and aerial survey. However, the typical path-length objectiv
Repeated exploration of a water surface to detect objects of interest and their subsequent monitoring is important in search-and-rescue or ocean clean-up operations. Since the location of any detected object is dynamic, we propose to address the combined surface exploration and monitoring of the det
This letter concerns optimal power transmission line inspection formulated as a proposed generalization of the traveling salesman problem for a multi-route one-depot scenario. The problem is formulated for an inspection vehicle with a limited travel budget. Therefore, the solution can be composed of
