Swarm exploration by tiny flying robots
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 жов 2019
- We present a swarm of autonomous flying robots for the exploration of unknown environments. The tiny robots do not make maps of their environment, but deal with obstacles on the fly. In robotics, the algorithms for navigating like this are called "bug algorithms". The navigation of the robots involves them first flying away from the base station and later finding their way back with the help of a wireless beacon.
More details on the navigation solution and the swarm of robots can be found in the following scientific article:

This research is a collaboration between the Micro Air Vehicle Lab at TU Delft (mavlab.tudelft.nl), the smARTLab at the University of Liverpool (wordpress.csc.liv.ac.uk/smartlab/) and Radboud University (www.ru.nl/personen/kappen-h/).
This work was financed by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) grant with number 656.000.006 within the Natural Artificial Intelligence programme.
We greatly appreciate the support of the TU Delft Robotics Institute:

If I would get 1 dollar for every robotics researcher saying their research "could be used for search and rescue" to ethically green wash that they are actually developing military technology, i would be a millionaire
painfully true
Search & Destroy. #FTFY
It can be used for searching. To rescue or to destroy is our choice after that point. Sadly the later gets more attention.
Hahahaha this hurts
Great work guys!
Awesome work! Will read the article soon. Any research on algorithms for outdoor search and rescue using autonomous drone swarms?
Amazing! Have you tried these flying robots in underground tunnels, caves, etc.
The drone-based technologies have unlimited possibilities, but at this time unfortunately too limited by batteries' energy density.
If its enough to track and kill your enemies its good enough for war. The future of modern life for humans is wearing a helmet all day.
Great work.
Thank you for sharing
Well and that was 4 years ago.
Geweldig nu hopen dat het er ook een oplossing komt voor mensen die niet mobiel zijn maar dat diegene wel de wereld om zich heen kunnen zien
Often, when a person is trying to convey an interesting idea to me, and I'm not quite getting it, I wish I could stare down their ear-holes to aid comprehension. Thank goodness for the makers of this video then.
Cool drones though.
what's the status of the research?
Who else thinks these robots will be used to wipe out mankind?
what is the weight of each robot
how can i buy them ?! it's so exciting !!!
I am going to have my Phd in the swarm UAV tech. I really hope that we can collaborate.
If you had a wireless charger broadcasting from one room, could you keep them airborne indefinitely? Or would they eventually overheat? I've only seen it done with bigger drones outdoors with a transmission tower.
Cool stuff! How can they store the images if they do not have memory?
It is a great job and it helps me in my project, how can i contact you, i want an email, please.
Swarm drones are extremely dangerous and will be a new weapon on a modern battlefield as low altitude airspace denial weapon and SAM battery countermeasures.
Can you provide codes!!!!
Whoops!
❤❤❤ Brilliant project congratulations ❤❤❤ PLEASE ANALISE OPORTUNITY TO USE IN YOUR PROJECT AN OVERUNITY ELECTRIC GENERATOR TO RECHARGE BATTERY DURING FLYING. I CAN HELP YOU
Not very impressive. Why did the camera person use the cliché of side views?
We need a swarm of fire fighting robots here in Australia. People are losing there lives here. I believe the technology is there - someone just has to develop the solution
Active shooter neutralization.
Neuro sama swarm project
send it to Mars
it is possible but it will go out or near the mars atmoshpere
US Military entered the chat
Yes, US Military. I would like to place an order for Ukraine 🇺🇦. We’ll take 100,000,000. Please insure they all have explosives. Thank you.
FBI and CIA too.
simple algorithms solve complex tasks. ghost in the machine/emergent properties
There is an emergent property in my pants UwU
"first time" hahhhahhhahhahhhahha scam
