The problem
Searching large areas for survivors takes time, and a single drone covers little ground.
What to build
Design a planner that splits an area among several drones and adapts as probability maps update.
Success looks like
Faster coverage in simulation than a naive sweep and safe separation between drones.
Suggested technologies
- Multi-agent planning
- Probability maps
- Simulation
- Collision avoidance
- ROS
