Autonomous Multi-UAV Path Planning in Pipe Inspection Missions Based on Booby Behavior

This paper presents a novel path planning heuristic for multi-UAV pipe inspection missions inspired by the booby bird’s foraging behavior. The heuristic enables each UAV to find an optimal path that minimizes the detection time of defects in pipe networks while avoiding collisions with obstacles and...
