The Drone Swarm Search project is an environment, based on PettingZoo, that
is to be used in conjunction with multi-agent (or single-agent) reinforcement
learning algorithms. It is an environment in which the agents (drones), have to
find the targets (shipwrecked people). The agents do not know the position of
the target and do not receive rewards related to their own distance to the
target(s). However, the agents receive the probabilities of the target(s) being
in a certain cell of the map. The aim of this project is to aid in the study of
reinforcement learning algorithms that require dynamic probabilities as inputs.
