Abstract

In this demo, we showcase the collaborative effort that was put into bringing an offloading protocol for UAVs, Stop & Offload [1], on real-world hardware. The process includes multiple stages, from hardware configuration and testing in a simulated environment, to the final deployment in the field. The protocol enhances patrolling missions by improving coordination and data offloading among drones. We address the challenges of translating this protocol into a real hardware implementation using DJI Drones, and provide a detailed walkthrough of the process, from simulation to deployment. Our solution utilizes the DJI PSDK [2] libraries, ROS2 [5], and the Gazebo [4] simulator to ensure a secure and strong implementation.

A Finite-State Machine for Collaborative Airlift with a Formation of Unmanned Air Vehicles

The article presents a finite-state machine, or FSM, for multi-vehicle airlift and experimental results of untethered multi-quadrotor flight. The rationale is as follows: before attaching a payload to a group of drones and deploying these vehicles in ...

CHI EA '14: CHI '14 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Small aerial robots represent a novel platform that appears uniquely suited to assist humans in exploratory, surveillance, inspection, and telepresence tasks across a variety of domains. Such tasks will require "assistive free-flyers" (AFFs) to ...
Towards Autonomous Micro UAV Swarms

Micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) such as quadrocopters have gained great popularity over the last years, both as a research platform and in various application fields. However, some complex application scenarios call for the formation of swarms ...
