What is a multi-UAV system?

  • airborne
  • two or more UAVs, possibly also heterogeneous
  • have to share knowledge
  • information exchange during operation
  • indirect or direct communication
  • don't have to share a common objective
  • collaboration or coordination

What are the building blocks of an autonomous multi-UAV system?

  • networking, some form of communication
  • sensing system: cameras, ultra-sonic
  • interaction with the environment
  • sharing representation
  • bottom-up/top-down
    • bottom up: team of individuals
    • top down: designed as a team
  • fail-operational or fail-safe
  • swarm of simple systems/swarm with a leader/swarm of highly intelligent systems

What are the design challenges?

  • technical challenges, see before
  • mission-specific or one system fits all?
  • system integration
  • legal issues, regulations
  • responsibility
  • privacy
  • public perception, acceptance

Is autonomy desirable? When?

  • yes, for a large number of UAVs
  • for a large area, remote location
  • if problem is well-defined and easy
  • no, to avoid legal issues
  • if problem is complex, not trackable
