Drone Swarms: An overview and working in network control systems
Abstract: The review of multi-agent systems, including drone swarms, has gained momentum due to their ability to exhibit cooperative behavior. Automating the control of a drone swarm poses substantial challenges due to the diverse wireless, networking, and environmental constraints each drone faces. To address these challenges, we treat drone swarms as Networked Control Systems (NCS), integrating the overall system control within a wireless communication network. This approach relies on a strong …
