4 Multi-UAV swarming EXPECTED DELIVERABLES
06/18/2012 Multi-UAV swarming EXPECTED DELIVERABLES Demonstration of real-time motion capture of UAV maneuvers in a 3D space. Assessment of the capabilities and evaluation of errors in the tracking system. Detailed evaluation of the hardware capabilities of the UAV systems for application in cooperative control experiments. Demonstration of basic UAV control with commands executed wirelessly from a remote computer. Developing a simulation model for a cooperative control algorithm implementing cyclic pursuit among the UAVs. Experimental implementation of the algorithm using the indoor UAV systems in the IMAGE platform. REU program Summer 2012
