Abstract

The UAV systems working in difficult environment should be able to performs various actions autonomously required to achieve the given mission without the human interventions. However, the actual tests for such UAV system will take heavy cost. Thus, the simulation test in advance before the actual test is important. This paper proposes a 3D visual simulation environment for autonomous agent-based UAV systems. The several simulation tests performed on the rescue scenarios will demonstrate our techniques.

인간이 개입하지 않는 UAV 시스템은 다양한 행동을 자율적으로 수행하여 임무를 달성해야하는 어려움이 있다. 그러나 인간이 개입하지 않는 환경에서의 실제 실험은 많은 위험과 비용이 발생한다. 따라서 실제 환경 실험에 앞서 시뮬레이션 실험을 통한 검증이 필요함은 자명하다. 본 논문에서는 에이전트 기반 자율 UAV의 실험을 위한 3차원 가상환경과 이산사건 시뮬레이션 환경 구축하고 연동한 시스템을 제안한다. 재난 상황에서의 UAV 3기를 이용한 구조임무 시뮬레이션을 통해 그 유효성을 검증 하였다.
