Abstract
In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have found increased application across various domains. Clusters of Multi-UAV can accomplish more complex tasks, optimizing overall efficiency through rational task allocation. In practical scenarios, they exhibit distinct advantages and characteristics. However, the allocation of tasks to Multi-UAV in special environments or emergency conditions poses a widely studied problem. Existing research or methods often impose fixed task priorities (task sequences) during Multi-UAV task allocation. Yet, real-world UAV operations may witness fluctuations in task priorities due to environmental changes or human factors. For instance, areas experiencing a drop in temperature may heighten the urgency of certain supplies, or sudden outbreaks of disease may increase the demand for medical supplies. In such cases, conventional planning methods become inadequate. Hence, this paper addresses these scenarios by proposing a model for dynamic task priority changes in Multi-UAV task allocation within special environments. This thesis introduces an improved genetic algorithm, termed the improved partheno geneticgreedy combination algorithm. Through comparative experiments, the efficacy of the proposed algorithm in addressing dynamic priority changes in Multi-UAV collaborative task allocation problems is validated, enhancing problem-solving efficiency.
