Advancing Multi-UAV Inspection Dispatch Based on Bilevel Optimization and GA-NSGA-II by Yujing Liu, Chunmei Chen, Yu Sun, Shaojie Miao

“…In multi-UAV collaborative power grid inspection, the system efficiency of existing methods is limited by the performance of both task assignment and path planning, which is critical in large-scale task scenarios, resulting in a huge computational cost and a high possibility to local optimality. To address these challenges, a bilevel optimization framework based on GA-NSGA-II and task segmentation is proposed to balance the total inspection distance and the distance standard deviation of UAVs, where the outer optimization employs the NSGA-II to assign task units to each UAV evenly, while the inner optimization deploys an adaptive genetic algorithm with an elite retention strategy to optimize the inspection direction and order in each task domain to obtain a Pareto-optimal solution set under constraints. …”
