dc.description.abstract | Water contamination in extensive aquatic resources is a pressing issue, especially during
current drought conditions across the world. To adress this, a novel approach involving a heterogeneous
sensing capabilities fleet of four autonomous surface vehicles is introduced for efficient contamination
mapping. To reduce costs, vehicles may be equipped with low quality sensors meaning measurements
reliability differs between vehicles and affects model accuracy. The diverse sensing capabilities are
characterized by a wide range of sensor standard deviations, addressing the applicability of the framework
in real-world scenarios with commercial sensors. This research leverages Gaussian Processes to accurately
model spatial distribution of contamination, integrating measurements from the vehicles to understand
contamination patterns comprehensively. Additionally, an informative path planning strategy is introduced
based on a centralized neural network which implements a Double Deep Q-Learning algorithm, driving the
decision-making process of all agents. Effective learning hinges on accurately defining the observation and
reward functions, for which several proposals will be compared. These tailored definitions are essential for
guiding the learning process, and minimizing the error towards the main goal: to obtain the best possible
contamination model. Remarkably, the proposed system demonstrates superior performance in Ypacaraí
Lake scenario, surpassing traditional heuristics like lawn mower or particle swarm optimization by up to
82% in reducing mean squared error in highly contaminated regions for several combinations of agents. | es |
