This paper tackles the problem of allowing a team of UAVs with limited communication range to autonomously coordinate to service requests. We present two MRF-based solutions: one assumes independence between requests; and the other considers also the UAVs’ workloads. Empirical evaluation shows that the latter performs almost as well as state-of-the-art centralized techniques in realistic scenarios.
