arXiv:2608.25376v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: With the rapid advancement of smart agriculture, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become indispensable for efficient coverage and path planning in grid-mapped agricultural fields. However, optimizing UAV flight paths in large-scale environments remains a complex Nondeterministic Polynomial-time (NP)-hard problem. Traditional path planning methods are often constrained by local optima, limited scalability, and slow convergence, which significantly restrict their effectiveness in solving large-scale problems. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a novel optimization framework utilizing a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)-parallelized Ising solver. Our method mimics the operational principles of quantum annealing on GPU hardware, enabling rapid search for the minimum-energy state of Ising models. Unlike physical quantum devices, which are often constrained by the number of qubits, our approach leverages the Fixstars Amplify (FA) platform to perform parallel annealing on highly parallelized GPUs. This enables the simultaneous evaluation of thousands of potential path candidates and vast state transitions. By leveraging large-scale parallel processing, this framework's core strength lies in minimizing computation time even as the problem scale increases. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed method consistently identifies superior flight paths while maintaining stable computational performance compared with the genetic algorithm and simulated annealing method.
