Our research focuses on using drones, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), in remote or underdeveloped regions. We aim to create a system where an access UAV manages and coordinates inspection UAVs, which are equipped with cameras and limited communication range. These inspection UAVs collect visual data and send it to a Base Station via the Access UAV. The access UAV coordinates with inspection UAVs to ensure efficient data collection from all relevant areas. Our approach promotes energy efficiency for long missions, maintains smooth data collection, and keeps network data queues stable, presenting an adaptable, hierarchical multi-UAV network for effective data gathering and communication.
