Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become prevalent in Search-And-Rescue (SAR) missions. However, existing solutions to the control and coordination of UAV s are mostly limited to specific environments and are not robust to handle unreliable/unstable communications. To deal with these challenges, Hierarchical Multi-Agent Actor-Critic (HMAAC) framework is proposed where a high-level policy is pla...
