About
Doreen Koerte is a researcher focused on the intersection of swarm intelligence, robotics, and energy-efficient navigation. Her primary research areas include multi-criteria decision-making for aerial micro-robots and the optimization of swarm behavior under dynamic environmental constraints. Koerte’s major contribution is the development of the Navigation Wind PSO (NW-PSO), a novel particle swarm optimization algorithm designed to help aerial swarms navigate unknown wind fields while conserving limited battery power. This work, published in 2017, has garnered 11 citations and is foundational for energy-saving autonomous flight in real-world conditions. She has also investigated how communication topology affects swarm performance in adversarial vector fields, as seen in her 2020 study on Power- and Zigzag-PSO variants. Though early in her career, Koerte’s research addresses critical challenges in deploying micro-robots for search and rescue, environmental monitoring, and exploration. Her work stands out for integrating practical energy constraints with theoretical swarm dynamics, offering a blueprint for resilient, decentralized aerial systems.
