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?

  • sensors
    • cameras
    • ultrasonic (for indoor, needs to be de-synchronized
    • infrared
    • contactsensors
    • LIDAR
    • IMU
    • GPS
    • wind sensor
    • barometric height sensor
    • sensing earth magnetic field
  • communication modules
    • radio, e.g., X-Bees
    • IR

Is a UAV swarm feasible? What are the limitations?

How do we coordinate the UAVs to achieve team behavior?
