Firefly Autonomous UAV Swarms for Wildfire Combat Utilizing Swarm Intelligence

Combating wildfire outbreaks introduce a devastating financial and logistical burden on firefighting systems, with overall damage cost in 394-893B$ and 9-63K$/hr for indirect aerial costs. Our work aims to integrate the usage of multi-agent deep reinforcement learning to autonomously combat wild fires with drones. Our current work showcases the feasibility of such system on a discrete small case to be later extended into realistic 3D physics-based simulations.
