| Title |
CAARV: Cooperative Autonimous Aerial Reconnes Vehicles |
| Supervisor |
Dr. Kash Khorasani |
| Description |
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are becoming extremely important in many fields both militarily and civilian. They are gaining a lot of attention in applications such as search and surveillance. The goal of this project is to implement a cooperative behavior strategy that will allow UAVs to be instrumental in the search and rescue process of avalanche victims.
The design process will be a two tiered one. A low level control system will allow each vehicle to fly autonomously. So in essence an autopilot will be proposed that will allow each UAV to autonomously fly into its respective formation position. The high level control system will be responsible for maintaining a required flight formation.
The proposed project can be expanded in the future to accommodate any type of search and rescue operation in any terrain by expanding on the formation capabilities of CAARV and adding more advanced maneuverability to the auto pilot system.
