Mobility Strategies based on Virtual Forces for Swarms of Autonomous UAVs in Constrained Environments
Abstract
The usage of autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has recently become a major question. For
wide area surveillance missions, a swarm of UAVs can be much more efficient than a single vehicle. In this
case, several aircrafts cooperate in order to fulfill a mission while avoiding collisions between each other
and with obstacles. This article proposes original distributed mobility strategies for autonomous swarms of
UAVs, the goal of which is to fulfill a surveillance mission. Our work is based on virtual forces and our
approach allows narrow areas crossing that require a compact formation of the autonomous swarm.
