Contribution

It proposes a novel approach for multi-UAV formation control that addresses communication challenges in dead zones, demonstrating improved connectivity over traditional ad hoc architectures.

Findings

Feasibility of the proposed approach demonstrated

Advantages over ad hoc architecture shown

Enhanced connectivity in inaccessible areas

Abstract

There is increasing demand for control of multi-robot and as well distributing large amounts of content to cluster of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) on the operation. In recent years several large-scale accidents have happened. To facilitate rescue operations and gather information, the technology that can access and map inaccessible areas is needed. This paper presents a disruptive approach to address the issues with communication, data collection and data sharing for UAV units in inaccessible or dead zones and We demonstrated feasibility of the approach and evaluate its advantages over the Ad Hoc architecture involving autonomous gateways
