Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Locust invasion still remains danger to crops and vast unused fields in certain parts of the world. This problem is also relevant to Kazakhstan. Every year the government allocates 16 million USD to control locusts’ population, and prevent damages that they cause after its intrusion. The aim of this paper is to define the concept of developing an anti-locust multi-agent territory protection system (ALMATPS), which consists of heterogeneous robots such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), ground robots (GR) or unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) (there is no different between these two terms, both can be used). These heterogeneous robots collaborate with each to achieve the main goal using the agent based modeling (ABM).
