First, the information of the distance between the spatial position of the UAV and the spatial position of the next task and the distance between the spatial position of the UAV and the spatial position of the idle UAV warehouse is condensed, and then the variance explanation rate after rotation is obtained, and the weight is obtained by accumulating the variance explanation rate.

[0080]
[0081] In terms of safety:
[0082] Experimental group: The initial battery level of drone 1 is 20%, and its charging evaluation coefficient is 0.25. Since the charging environment evaluation coefficient is 0.85, it indicates that charging is performed under good environmental conditions, effectively avoiding safety hazards such as overheating. During the charging process of drone 5, the environmental evaluation coefficient is 0.93, and the charging evaluation coefficient is 0.47, ensuring charging in the best environment and improving safety.
[0083] Control group: The initial power of UAV 6 is 22%, the charging evaluation coefficient is 0.20, and the environmental evaluation coefficient is 0.80, which shows that there is a safety hazard in the charging process without considering the environment and location optimization, which may cause the battery to overheat and damage.
[0084] In terms of work efficiency:
[0085] Experimental group: The initial power of UAV 3 is 50%, and its charging evaluation coefficient is 0.53, which is much higher than that of other UAVs, showing the high efficiency of charging in the best environment and location. The environmental evaluation coefficient of UAV 2 is 0.90, and the charging evaluation coefficient is 0.39, although the environment is good, but due to the long distance, the charging efficiency is slightly reduced.
[0086] Control group: The initial power of UAV 8 is 48%, the charging evaluation coefficient is 0.48, although the environmental evaluation coefficient is 0.90, but due to the lack of location optimization, the charging efficiency is not as good as that of UAV 3 in the experimental group.
[0087] In terms of battery life:
[0088] Experimental group: During the charging process of UAV 5, the environmental evaluation coefficient is 0.93, and the charging evaluation coefficient is 0.47, which shows the positive effect of charging in a good environment on the battery life. Although the environmental evaluation coefficient of UAV 2 is 0.90, the charging evaluation coefficient is only 0.39, and long-term charging in a sub-optimal environment may have a negative impact on the battery life.
[0089] Control group: The initial power of UAV 10 is 43%, the charging evaluation coefficient is 0.42, and the environmental evaluation coefficient is 0.88, although the environment is good, but due to the lack of location optimization management, the battery life is affected to a certain extent.
