A Robotic UAV System for Formation and Flocking

摘要：

In this paper, the development of a robotic UAV system for formation flight and flocking is presented. Autonomy of UAVs is established through an open-sourced autopilot system with essential sensors and servo drivers. For the formation flight and the flocking operation with GPS-denying condition, the essential specifications of the robotic UAV system have been defined including the selection of flying vehicles and the critical sensing systems. The UAV system consists of modified radio-controlled coaxial helicopters and a ground station. Target tracking, formation flight and flocking of UAVs are discussed to determine the necessary guidance strategies.
