  - "During rescue scenarios it is indispensable to obtain an overview of the situation.
    Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can gather the necessary information in a fast
    and efficient way. This paper presents an approach for path planning in 3D environments
    offering a solution to explore disaster areas including, e.g., partially or completely
    destroyed buildings. Using multiple UAVs decreases the time needed to receive
    a complete overview if the problem of coordination and task allocation is solved.
    We present an approach for the use of multiple UAVs. The UAVs work in a distributed
    manner without any central coordination instance and cover the exploration of
    terrains as well as goal-oriented path planning. When using multiple UAVs redundant
    exploration is avoided through the use of inter-UAV-communication. The approach
    is based on potential fields and uses the simplicity of the gradient method to
    calculate paths for fast exploration of the terrain.\r\n@eng"
