Projects:2020s1-2350 Multi-Drone Tracking and Formation Control Platform
The operations of UAVs indoors have numerous issues that involves the limited area available to fly the UAVs. The safe operations of UAVs require constant vigilance of the operator to limit the hazards and damage to property and personnel. This project aims to build a multi-drone (UAV/UGV) tracking and formation control platform with a high precision OptiTrack motion capture system. This aided control will limit the operating area of the drones in a safe and controlled manner while allowing the operator to perform the required manoeuvres while within the area. The obstacles and boundaries of the operations area are defined in the system for the drones to avoid during operations.The development will expand on design completed in 2018, and currently in progress that utilises the Robot Operating Systems (ROS). CASA is currently planning to update the micro category to drones up to 250g, and we will develop a suitable drone with this weight limit.
