The system’s various elements (drones’ cognition, pathfinding, policies, but also humans-swarm interactions) are elaborated, implemented and evaluated using a simulator custom-built for this dissertation. Evaluation outcomes show that cognitive functions can be beneficial to noncognitive drone components, and vice versa. Possible improvements are discussed.vii, 79 p. ; 30 cm.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCognitive swarm -- Search-and-Rescue problematicsΜεταπτυχιακή Διατριβήpdf
