Verification of reliability of multi-UAV for their use in any scenario

We remember the devastating effects of earthquakes and tsunamis that we have experienced in the recent past in Japan and that sequentially damaged the nuclear reactors and caused the meltdown and unsafe for habitation in the entire city. Back then we relied on safer means of robotics to assess and overcome the radiation without further putting human lives at risk. There are many more situations where robotic systems have proven to be a safer and promising solution to assess, control and improve the threat to human lives in a particular geographic region.

These require highly autonomous robots; especially interesting are the UAVs because of their capability to reach the most difficult places within a confined space and hover at a single position to collect more reliable data for analysis. Using multi-UAVs to subdivide the assigned tasks can help to improve the quality and speed to achieve the goal. However, this rises a very important topic of research to verify on their reliability and functioning of multi-UAVs in any difficult scenario. This talk will discuss the work in progress on the various verification aspects in the reliability for the use of multi-UAV systems.
