Aerial Swarm

Aerial swarm research focuses on enabling coordinated autonomous flight of multiple drones for tasks like exploration, search and rescue, and infrastructure inspection. Current efforts concentrate on developing robust and efficient algorithms for decentralized navigation, formation control (often employing graph-based methods and distributed optimization), and collaborative state estimation (leveraging LiDAR, IMU, and visual data). These advancements are significant for improving the reliability, scalability, and speed of swarm operations, with applications ranging from environmental monitoring to complex logistics.
