Aerial swarms can substantially improve the effectiveness of drones in applications such as inspection, monitoring, and search for rescue. This is especially true when those swarms are made of several individual drones that use local sensing and coordination rules to achieve collective motion. Despi
Multi-agent planning has numerous real-world applications, such as autonomous agriculture, search and rescue, and infrastructure inspection. It is thus of tremendous benefit to improve on the state-of-the-art in multiple metrics to make autonomous multi-agent systems more efficient and a more viable
In this paper, we propose a new planning scheme for high-speed flight in an unknown environment while taking into account drag forces. Drag forces become non-negligible at high speeds and may lead to unfeasible trajectories. The method leverages a new Mixed-Integer Quadratic Program/Model Predictive…
