A pesticide spraying mission assignment performed by multi-quadcopters and its simulation platform establishment

This paper proposes a new mission assignment scheme aimed at the farmland spraying problem by using the plant-protection-quadcopters. A mathematical model of the mission assignment problem is established by simplifying some minor factors of the optimization problem and a Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) method is used to obtain the optimal solution. Then, a simulation platform is established and a series of simulations are carried out to verify the reasonability and correctness of this mission assignment scheme.
