چکیده

Swarm control is an open problem. We are taking steps for systematic flight control of large numbers of UAVs. In this paper, we present our design and implementation of UAV group control in a fully implemented simulated UAV environment. We explore issues of limited user intervention, novel agent personality, and multi-theater load balancing.

A Framework for the Scalable Control of Swarms of Unmanned Ground Vehicles with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

We address the problem of deploying groups of tens or hundreds of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) in urban environments where one or more unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be used to coordinate the groups. We envision a paradigm in which a UAV with aerial cameras can be used to monitor and command a swarm of UGVs, and a hierarchy allowing a central planner to plan the splitting and merging of...

Czech Technical University in Prague F 3 Faculty of Electrical EngineeringDepartment of Cybernetics Distributed Cohesive Control for Swarms of Micro

This thesis deals with distributed cohesive control of swarms of dimensionless particles and applicability of this approach for using with swarms of micro aerial vehicles. I have implemented a set of algorithms presented in [11] that leads to the cohesive swarm behavior of ground robots in a plane and extended these algorithms to 3D space for control of unmanned aerial vehicles. The behavior of...

Adaptive Swarm Formation Control for Hybrid Ground and Aerial Assets

The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) allows for cooperation, coordination, and tight or loose collaboration related to multiple missions. UAVs can provide a global perspective of the surrounding environment, obstacles, and possible threats, broadcasting goals, sub-goals and alterations to the overall mission of the swarm. Further, the deployment of UAV...

Collaborative Coordination and Control for an Implemented Heterogeneous Swarm of UAVs and UGVs

Over the last few years, cooperative autonomous systems have become a more popular solution for accomplishing tasks that are otherwise performed by human operators. Several strides have been made with homogeneous systems of vehicles in areas of localization, formation behaviors, path planning, task allocation, and vehicle controls. This paper describes both work completed and the future goals i...

Chemical Plume Tracing and Mapping via Swarm Robots

This chapter addresses the key issues of chemical plume mapping and tracing via swarm robots. First, the authors present the models of turbulent odor plumes with both non-buoyant and buoyant features, which can efficiently evaluate strategies for tracing plumes, identifying their sources in two or threedimensions. Second, the authors use the Monte Carlo technique to optimize moth-inspired plume...
