Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Cluster

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) clusters represent a burgeoning research area focused on coordinating multiple UAVs for enhanced performance in tasks like mapping, surveillance, and data collection. Current research emphasizes efficient algorithms for cluster formation, inter-UAV communication and coordination (including novel approaches using blockchain and graph-based learning), and optimized resource management, such as energy-efficient path planning and recharging strategies. These advancements are significant because they enable more complex and large-scale UAV operations, improving the speed, coverage, and reliability of applications across various fields.
