TPU develops an autonomous drone swarm

Description

Specialists from the Academic Laboratory of Industrial Robotics of Tomsk Polytechnic University are developing a multi-agent robotic system for flying a swarm of intelligent drones. Now they are tasked to ‘teach’ a swarm of 10 drones to fly without crashing into each other, avoid stationary or mobile obstacles and safely land on the point specified by the operator with high accuracy. At the same time, high accuracy of drone navigation is ensured by the simultaneous use of a global navigation system and an ultrasonic system.
