Abstract

A cost-effective solution with less human involvement must be developed for medical waste (MW) transportation. A learning-based coordinated unmanned aerial vehicle–unmanned ground vehicle (UAV–UGV) (CUU) framework, currently unavoidable use, with a transfer learning algorithm is suggested. A transfer learning algorithm is implemented for collision-free optimal path planning. In the framework, mobile ground robots collect medical waste from waste disposal centers through the pick-and-place technique. Then, networked drones lift the collected medical waste and fly through a predefined optimal trajectory. The framework considers the dynamic behavior of the environment and explores the actions for picking, placing, and dropping medical waste. A deep reinforcement learning mechanism has been incorporated for each successful or unsuccessful action by the framework to provide the rewards. With optimal policies, the coordinated UAV and UGV change their actions in dynamic conditions. An optimal cost of transportation of medical waste by the proposed framework is created by considering the weight of MW packets as the payload capacity of a CUU framework, the cost of steering the UAV and UGV, and the time required to transport the MW. The effectiveness of the CUU framework for MW transportation has been tested using MATLAB. The MW transportation data have been encrypted using an encryption key for security and authenticity.
