Abstract

This study evaluates the performance of various path planning algorithms for multi-UAV systems in dynamic and cluttered environments, focusing on critical metrics such as path length, path smoothness, collision avoidance, and computational efficiency. We examined several algorithms, including A*, Genetic Algorithm, Modified A*, and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), using comprehensive simulations that reflect realistic operational conditions. Key evaluation metrics were quantified using standardized methods, ensuring the reproducibility and clarity of the findings. The A* Path Planner demonstrated efficiency by producing the shortest and smoothest paths, albeit with minor collision avoidance limitations. The Genetic Algorithm emerged as the most robust, balancing path length, smoothness, and collision avoidance, with zero violations and high feasibility. Modified A* also performed well but exhibited slightly less smooth paths. In contrast, algorithms like Cuckoo Search and Artificial Immune System faced significant performance challenges, especially in adapting to dynamic environments. Our findings highlight the superior performance of the Genetic Algorithm and Modified A* under these specific conditions. We also discuss the potential for hybrid approaches that combine the strengths of these algorithms for even better performance. This study's insights are critical for practitioners looking to optimize multi-UAV systems in challenging scenarios.

Abstract

The logistical challenges in rural areas, which often face limited infrastructure, varied terrains, and dispersed populations, often lead to inefficient and costly delivery systems. Recent developments in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology offer a theoretical framework for overcoming these challenges. This research proposes a comprehensive pattern language specifically designed for multi-UAV logistics operations in rural settings. The proposed system integrates critical components such as LiDAR-based map generation, altitude information storage, partial goal estimation, and collision avoidance into a unified framework. Unlike existing research that typically focuses on isolated aspects like route optimization or payload management, this system features an advanced path planning algorithm capable of real-time environmental assessment and direction-aware navigation. Focus group discussions with logistics experts from Talaud Island, North Sulawesi, Indonesia informed the design and refinement of the proposed patterns, ensuring that they address the practical needs of rural logistics. Our analysis suggests that this system offers a theoretical foundation for significantly improving the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of delivering essential goods and services to rural areas, thereby supporting equitable development and improving the quality of life in these communities. While no empirical data is presented, the framework serves as a scalable foundation for future implementations of UAV-based rural logistics systems.

Abstract

The rapid integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) into critical applications such as disaster management, logistics, and communication networks has brought forth significant challenges in optimizing their performance under dynamic and unpredictable conditions. This study addresses these challenges by systematically evaluating the predictive capabilities of multiple machine learning models for UAV network performance identification. Models including RandomForest, GradientBoosting, Support Vector Classifier (SVC), Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), AdaBoost, ExtraTrees, LogisticRegression, and DecisionTree were analyzed using comprehensive metrics such as average accuracy, macro F1-score, macro precision, and macro recall. The results demonstrated the superiority of ensemble methods, with ExtraTrees achieving the highest performance across all metrics, including an accuracy of 0.9941. Other ensemble models, such as RandomForest and GradientBoosting, also showcased strong results, emphasizing their reliability in handling complex UAV datasets. In contrast, non-ensemble approaches such as LogisticRegression and MLP exhibited comparatively lower performance, suggesting their limitations in generalization under dynamic conditions. Preprocessing techniques, including SMOTE for addressing class imbalances, were applied to enhance model reliability. This research highlights the importance of ensemble learning techniques in achieving robust and balanced UAV performance predictions. The findings provide actionable insights into model selection and optimization strategies, bridging the gap between theoretical advancements and real-world UAV deployment. The proposed methodology and results have impact for advancing UAV technologies in critical, network performance-sensitive applications.

Abstract

Accurate prediction of water quality parameters is critical for the effective management and sustainability of aquaponics systems. This study evaluates the performance of four deep learning architectures: Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), Simple Recurrent Neural Network (SimpleRNN), and Dense Neural Network (DenseNN) for forecasting key water quality parameters, including temperature, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, pH, ammonia, and nitrate. A significant research gap is addressed by analyzing how these models perform on noisy and minimally preprocessed datasets, advancing prior studies that lack robust preprocessing techniques tailored for aquaponics systems. A ten-fold cross-validation framework was employed to rigorously assess the models, with Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) as evaluation metrics. The results demonstrate that LSTM and GRU models outperform other architectures, achieving average validation losses of 0.0028 and 0.0028, respectively, and mean absolute errors of 0.0473 and 0.0478. These models effectively capture the temporal dependencies inherent in time-series data, making them highly suitable for the complex dynamics of aquaponics systems. Unlike previous studies, this research highlights the trade-offs between computational efficiency and predictive accuracy in these models. In contrast, the SimpleRNN model exhibited higher error rates due to its inability to model long-term dependencies, while the DenseNN model, lacking temporal processing mechanisms, showed the lowest performance with an average validation loss of 0.0075 and MAE of 0.0797. This study underscores the importance of selecting appropriate model architectures for time-series forecasting tasks and provides a foundation for deploying predictive systems to optimize aquaponics operations. Future work includes exploring hybrid models with attention mechanisms and real-time data integration for enhanced operational efficiency.

Abstract

Autonomous path planning for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) plays a critical role in applications ranging from disaster response to urban logistics. Traditional algorithms, such as A*, are widely recognized for their reliability in generating collision-free and efficient trajectories but often struggle with scalability in complex and dynamic environments. This study evaluates the performance of several neural network architectures, including MLP-LSTM, CNN-GRU, CNN-LSTM, CNN BILSTM, and others, as potential alternatives to classical methods. A dataset of trajectories generated by the A* algorithm was used to train and benchmark the models, enabling direct performance comparison across key metrics such as path length, smoothness, clearance, collisions, and waypoint density. The results demonstrate that the MLP-LSTM model outperforms other neural architectures, producing paths that closely resemble A* trajectories with high smoothness and waypoint granularity. While some models, such as CNN-GRU and CNN-BILSTM, show promise in generating feasible paths, their performance is inconsistent across different UAV scenarios. Models like Residual CNN and Hybrid CNN-MHA failed to generate meaningful trajectories, highlighting the critical importance of architectural choices. This study underscores the potential of neural network models for UAV path planning.

Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have emerged as vital tools in diverse applications, including disaster response, surveillance, and logistics. However, navigating complex, obstacle-rich 3D environments with dynamic elements remains a significant challenge. This study presents an Enhanced Advanced Multi-Objective Path Planning (EAMOPP) model designed to address these challenges by improving feasibility, collision avoidance, and path smoothness while maintaining computational efficiency. The proposed enhancement introduces a hybrid sampling strategy that combines random sampling with gradient-based adjustments and a refined cost function that prioritizes obstacle avoidance and path smoothness while balancing path length and energy efficiency. The EAMOPP was evaluated in a series of experiments involving dynamic environments with high obstacle density and compared against baseline algorithms, including A*, RRT*, Artificial Potential Field (APF), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and Genetic Algorithm (GA). Results demonstrate that the EAMOPP achieves a feasibility score of 0.9800, eliminates collision violations, and generates highly smooth paths with an average smoothness score of 9.3456. These improvements come with an efficient average execution time of 6.6410 seconds, outperforming both traditional and heuristic-based methods. Visual analyses further illustrate the model's ability to navigate effectively through dynamic obstacle configurations, ensuring reliable UAV operation. Future research will explore optimizations to further enhance the model's applicability in real-world UAV missions.
