Drone Delivery

Drone delivery research focuses on optimizing the efficiency and safety of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) package transport, addressing challenges like payload capacity, safe operation near obstacles, and efficient route planning across complex road and airspace networks. Current research emphasizes multi-agent systems, leveraging algorithms like heuristic approaches (e.g., Longest Processing Time First, A*) and mixed-integer linear programming to solve complex routing and scheduling problems, often incorporating machine learning for tasks such as address recognition and failure prediction. This field is significant for its potential to revolutionize last-mile logistics, improving delivery speed and reducing environmental impact, while also advancing related areas such as swarm robotics, autonomous navigation, and AI-driven service composition.
