Project Summary

We will design a decentralized Swarm of multi-rotor UAVs. The project’s main focus is the development of high-level behavior-based control algorithms for the coordination of multiple quadrotors. The drones will be capable of autonomous flight and obstacle avoidance. Each member of the swarm shall be connected with the other members through a decentralized communication network, providing robustness against individual member failure. Each quadrotor will have control over its own flight only, however, the interaction between the quadcopters through the developed control architecture will lead to emergence of swarm-like behavior.

Project Objectives

• Obtain autonomous behavior of individual drones
• Develop a decentralized communication network between drones
• Develop control architecture to achieve coherent multi-robot coordination

Project Implementation Method

• Quadcopter selection and flight controller integration
• Collision avoidance algorithm
• Develop decentralized communication architecture and routing protocols
• Algorithms for individual behavior of swarm members.
• Swarm path planning and coordination algorithm
• Complete integration of software with hardware
