Abstract:
The work proposes a simulation environment for UAVs management in the agriculture domain. In these last years, new technologies can effectively support farmer to face issues and threats such as parasites and sudden climatic changes that can severely degrade the crop or the quality of the cultivated products. However, to properly manage a UAVs team, equipped with multiple sensors and actuators, it is necessary to test these technologies in order to plan specific strategies and coordination techniques able to efficiently support farmers and achieve the targets. At this purpose, this contribution proposes a simulator suitable for the agriculture domain, where it is possible to set many parameters of this domain of interest.
