Modeling Oil-Spill Detection with multirotor systems based on multi-agent systems

An increase in the frequency of oil spills in the sea, which adversely affects the maritime environment, led to the motivation for this article. Recent advances in technology have now made it possible to provide Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) systems with great processing capacity. They include all the features of a complete computer, while maintaining a really small size as required by this kind of system. This investigation takes advantage of the functionalities provided by existing MultiAgent Systems (MAS) to accomplish tasks between UAVs. The article presents a case study that uses the capabilities to perform the detection of oil spills.
