Probabilistic reasoning for real-time UAV decision and control

Developing onboard abilities to control and task unmanned vehicles (UxVs) and swarms of UxVs is key to both wider use of systems. Herein, the authors develop and apply a probabilistic reasoning framework for UxVs. The reasoning system considers tasks, in this case search and rescue, based on both prior knowledge and sensor feedback. The approach considered is an imperative program to generate situation de-scriptions and decision problems as...
