The operation performance can\r\nbe significantly improved by deploying multiple cooperating\r\nUAVs and optimal decision making. In this work, we present\r\nthe use of nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) for\r\ntwo different applications involving cooperative UAVs.","doi":"10.24963/ijcai.2020/738","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2020/738","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2020/0738.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2020/738.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2020/bibtex/738","volume":{"slug":"2020","title":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Ninth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2020","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2020/","year":2020,"location":"Yokohama","dates":"January 2021 (postponed from 11-17 July 2020)","editors":"Christian Bessiere","isbn":"978-0-9992411-6-5","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Organization","doi_prefix":"10.24963/ijcai.2020"},"section":"Doctoral Consortium","track":"Doctoral Consortium","number":738,"pages":{"first":5196,"last":5197},"keywords":["Robotics: Motion and Path Planning","Robotics: Multi-Robot Systems","Robotics: Localization, Mapping, State Estimation","Agent-based and Multi-agent Systems: Coordination and Cooperation"],"videos":[{"label":"Video","url":"https://videos.ijcai20.org/24458/file_24458.m3u8","length_sec":284,"provider":"hls"}],"references":[{"position":1,"raw":"[Garcia et al., 2015] Eloy Garcia, David W Casbeer, and Meir Pachter.
