I was invited to give a talk at the 2nd AETOS international conference on “Research challenges for future RPAS/UAV systems“. The conference took place in Bordeaux, France, 9-10 September 2014 co-located with UAV Show 2014.
My talk was entitled “Communication and Cooperation in Multi-UAV Networks”, where I talked about our work on multi-UAV systems for civil applications, treating the multi-UAV system as a network of nodes that cooperate toward a common goal such as area coverage or search and rescue, where the team behavior is enabled via communication between the UAVs. Especially, I focused on planning in multi-UAV systems and evaluation of networking behavior via real-world experiments. Slides of my talk are available on request.
