An Adaptive Approach to Optimal Sparse Mobile-target Search Planning using Heterogeneous Agents
Planning an effective search for locating mobile-targets is essential in a variety of scenarios (e.g., search and rescue, environmental monitoring, law enforcement, etc.). Effective planning is especially important when resources are sparse (i.e., they are insufficient to search a significant …
