Abstract
This chapter presents an effective approach to path planning combined with task assignments for a group of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Path planning for a UAV is a challenging task. Handling multiple UAVs in dynamic environments makes planning more complicated. On the other hand, coordination and cooperation is very significant for multi-UAV planning. To find a collision-free optimal cost path, a particle swarm optimization-based algorithm is used here. ...
