D3ARC: Time-Critical Distributed Disaster Detection for Asynchronous Cooperative Multi-Robot Systems

D3ARC is an asynchronous distributed hierarchical framework designed for time‑critical wildfire detection using multiple robotic agents. It enables cooperative perception, shared situational awareness, and coordinated actions while a remote controller asynchronously directs each robot’s motion. The system incorporates safe navigation, coverage efficiency, and a forward‑looking capability to evaluate candidate strategies before execution, achieving up to 94% mission success and 89.4% detection confidence in realistic simulations.
