Optimization of Dual-type Multi-drone Formations for Load-carrying Missions
摘要
The use of drones in logistics transportation has significantly increased recently. One application involves transporting loads from one location to a different location. For larger loads, multiple drones are employed to carry the load collectively. This study introduces a single approach by relaxing the problem formulation and dual stage heuristic approach for dual-type multi-drone systems. Comparative analysis with a simulated annealing (SA) algorithm demonstrates that our single stage (SS) and dual stage (DS) approaches yield satisfactory results with minimal deviation from SA, highlighting SS’s superior computational efficiency.
