Group 1

What are the main challenges?

  • moving decisions on board
  • implicit communication/ without medium
  • local communication
  • how to control / monitor the distributed process "there is a human in the loop"

Group 2

Group 3

What are the main challenges?

  • limited payload
  • processing power
  • (self-)localization
  • coordination, synchronization of sensing
  • communication (range, loss)
  • collision avoidance
    • should work in worst case scenario (multiple UAVs, obstacles, communication outage)
  • robustness, handling of every possible situation
  • must be fail-operational to maintain safe state (situation-dependent)

What are the best suitable sensors, communication modules for small-scale UAVs? What is available?

       radio spectrum allocation
       vehicle, payload
       ground and airborne communication systems 

Is a UAV swarm feasible? What are the limitations?===How do we coordinate the UAVs to achieve team behavior?
