Drone Task Assignment

Project Goals and Description:
The drone task assignment problem can be applied to various real-world applications such as wild fire monitoring and disaster response. However, in many applications drones are not guaranteed to complete their assigned task 100% of the time and drones might become faulty during task execution, requiring one to reassign drones to tasks. In this work, we consider how to maximize the probability that all tasks are completed while considering the probability that a drone could fail during task execution.
