The project has been designed to investigate drone swarms flying in coordination with terrestrial robots. The research will focus on diverse relevant means, problems, and activities, such as UI algorithms to reconfigure a drone swarm; object detection and classification; sensor-based data analysis and evaluation; and modeling robotic systems to define the limit parameters, criteria, and objective functions that optimize the trajectories of the elements of a concrete system. The obtained knowledge and adopted methods, instruments, and technologies will enable us to create a demonstrator of an adaptable drone swarm collaborating with terrestrial robots. The outputs will be applicable in, for example, CBRN operations, personal detection, and perimeter search. |
