Area Coverage

Area coverage research focuses on efficiently servicing a given area, whether it's spraying crops, mapping radio signals, or collecting environmental samples. Current efforts concentrate on optimizing path planning algorithms, often incorporating techniques like the Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP) and incorporating constraints such as fuel limitations or sensor range. These advancements leverage graph neural networks and deep learning for improved efficiency and accuracy, impacting fields from precision agriculture and telecommunications to environmental monitoring and robotics.
