Plan optimal multi-robot search paths despite imperfect sensor information
When multiple robots must locate targets in presence of false positive and false negative detection errors, path planning becomes extraordinarily complex. Multi-Agent Search under Uncertainty addresses this challenge directly. Written by researchers with combined expertise spanning defense systems, applied mathematics, and machine learning, this book delivers both theoretical foundations in search and screening theory and ready-to-use algorithms for practical implementation.
The book covers cooperative search and navigation methods for autonomous mobile agents operating with incomplete or noisy information. Readers learn how Deep Q-Learning enables robots to develop complex behaviors through trial-and-error interactions rather than pre-programmed instructions. Applications span search and rescue operations, military surveillance, environmental monitoring, and security systems. An accompanying website provides Python code for simulation practice.
Key topics include:
- Value-based Q-Learning methods where robots learn expected rewards for specific actions in given states under sensor uncertainty conditions
- Multi-agent reinforcement learning approaches for swarm robotics where multiple robots learn cooperatively to accomplish collaborative search tasks
- Deep reinforcement learning using neural networks to process high-dimensional sensory inputs and execute complex search and tracking behaviors
- Algorithms for finding and tracking both stationary and moving targets while minimizing detection time despite false negative and positive readings
- Theoretical contributions to search and screening theory alongside practical algorithms validated in autonomous robotic systems development
Designed for graduate students and researchers in robotics and reinforcement learning, this book bridges advanced theory with practical application. Professional developers building autonomous systems will find algorithms tested in real-world robotic development.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
