Directional Pheromone Gradient Observations for Decentralized Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning in Swarm Drone Search and Rescue

Search and rescue (SAR) for disaster response involves quick and efficient exploration of large, uncertain, and dangerous spaces. In this paper, we introduce a swarm-drone SAR approach with a key innovation in the form of directional pheromone gradient observation, where each age...
