Software development for controlling a group of UAVs

Published: 13 May 2021 Publication History

Abstract

In recent years, the market for UAV is actively developing as new ways of using UAVs for both personal and industrial applications are being discovered. Many of their core differences allow employment of UAVs in greater numbers than their manned counterparts. A variety of tasks can be accomplished more efficiently by simultaneous usage of multiple UAVs, but this requires a high level of coordination between UAVs. This article discusses features, approaches, and algorithms of UAV group interaction and describes the developed software for centralized control of a small group of UAVs without direct communication between the group members.
