About the Project

The purpose in creating these Gazebo simulations is to prove the concepts that make up our BRECCIA system.

BRECCIA is an intelligent GIS tool that is designed to assist users in gathering and processing information utilizing autonomous quadcopters.  It contains a database of beliefs, desires and intentions (a BDI framework) and uses it to make decisions on how best to achieve its goals.  If there is uncertainty within the database, it follows a set of plans to try and resolve them.
