This paper investigates servicing waypoints in a wide area using collaborative deployments of vehicles with heterogeneous range and mobility constraints. We formulate a joint planning problem for a single transport truck and multiple service drones in which the truck is constrained to a road and must deploy a team of range-constrained drones to visit waypoints. The need to deploy, collect, and red...
