Abstract

In the paper, approaches for building of a multi-agent intelligent system of unmanned drones and its usage in the rescue missions at the urban environment are described. In general, this task can be considered as overlapping of the two main subtask—multi-agent simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) and the multi-agent search for the objects or places of interests. In the paper, existing solutions has been analyzed and actual areas of work has been revealed.
