“…The application of robot swarms is sought by defense agencies worldwide, that find extremely appealing a system that cannot be easily shut down [127]. A system that is fault-tolerant to external attacks can support operations in adversarial settings, especially when robots are replaceable and, to some extent, disposable.…”

S warm robotics deals with the design, construction, and deployment of large groups of robots that coordinate and cooperatively solve a problem or perform a task. It takes inspiration from natural self-organizing systems, such as social insects, fish schools, or bird flocks, characterized by emergent collective behavior based on simple local interaction rules [1], [2]. Typically, swarm robotics extracts engineering principles from the study of those natural systems in order to provide multirobot systems with comparable abilities. This way, it aims to build systems that are more robust, fault-tolerant, and flexible than single robots and that can better adapt their behavior to changes in the environment.

“…It is also worth to mention that there are some works discussing competitions using teams of UAVs as, for example, in [29] where several teams competed in a tag game of 25 UAVs in each swarm, or [32] where teams of UAVs were navigating through a room full of obstacles.…”

Multiple UAV Systems: A Survey

2020

Nowadays, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are used in many different applications. Using systems of multiple UAVs is the next obvious step in the process of applying this technology for variety of tasks. There are few research works that cover the applications of these systems and they are all highly specialized. The goal of this survey is to fill this gap by providing a generic review on different applications of multiple UAV systems that have been developed in recent years. We also present a nomenclature and architecture taxonomy for these systems. In the end, a discussion on current trends and challenges is provided.
