Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms are increasingly used in critical applications such as aerial mapping, environmental monitoring, and autonomous delivery. However, the reliability of these systems is highly dependent on uninterrupted…

Collective motion inspired by animal groups offers powerful design principles for autonomous aerial swarms. We present a bio-inspired 3D flocking algorithm in which each drone interacts only with a minimal set of influential neighbors,…

We propose a novel framework for the allocation of drone swarms for delivery services known as Swarm-based Drone-as-a-Service (SDaaS). The allocation framework ensures minimum cost (aka maximum profit) to drone swarm providers while meeting…

This paper introduces a testbed to study distributed sensing problems of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) exhibiting swarm intelligence. Several Smart City applications, such as transport and disaster response, require efficient collection…

Drones are also known as UAVs are originally designed for military purposes. With the technological advances, they can be seen in most of the aspects of life from filming to logistics. The increased use of drones made it sometimes essential…

The autonomous formation flight of fixed-wing drones is hard when the coordination requires the actuation over their speeds since they are critically bounded and aircraft are mostly designed to fly at a nominal airspeed. This paper proposes…

More widespread adoption requires swarms of robots to be more flexible for real-world applications. Multiple challenges remain in complex scenarios where a large amount of data needs to be processed in real-time and high degrees of…

Networks of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), composed of hundreds, possibly thousands of highly mobile and wirelessly connected flying drones will play a vital role in future Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G networks. However, how to control…

To achieve a smooth and safe guiding of a drone formation by a human operator, we propose a novel interaction strategy for a human-swarm communication which combines impedance control and vibrotactile feedback. The presented approach takes…

Several situations exist where a geographic region of some size needs to be scanned or monitored through many sensors. Still, it is either absolutely impossible or prohibitively expensive to deploy and maintain wireless communication…

We study the resource sharing problem in a drone-based wireless network. We consider a distributed control setting under uncertainty (i.e. unavailability of full information). In particular, the drones cooperate in serving the users while…

We propose a novel framework for composing Swarm-based Drone-as-a-Service (SDaaS) for delivery. Two composition approaches, i.e., sequential and parallel are designed considering the different behaviors of drone swarms. The proposed…

With the upcoming capabilities of integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) and the incorporation of user equipment (UE) like unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in 6G mobile networks, there is a significant opportunity to enhance situational…

The emerging drone swarms are capable of carrying out sophisticated tasks in support of demanding Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications by synergistically working together. However, the target area may be out of the coverage of the ground…

The deployment of autonomous drone swarms in disaster response missions necessitates the development of flexible, scalable, and robust coordination systems. Traditional fixed architectures struggle to cope with dynamic and unpredictable…

Swarms of drones are gaining more and more autonomy and efficiency during their missions. However, security threats can disrupt their missions' progression. To overcome this problem, Network Intrusion Detection Systems ((N)IDS) are…

Swarm systems constitute a challenging problem for reinforcement learning (RL) as the algorithm needs to learn decentralized control policies that can cope with limited local sensing and communication abilities of the agents. While it is…

This study proposes an approach for establishing an optimal multihop ad-hoc network using multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to provide emergency communication in disaster areas. The approach includes two stages, one uses particle…

The space communications industry is challenged to develop a technology that can deliver broadband services to user terminals equipped with miniature antennas, such as handheld devices. One potential solution to establish links with ground…

A novel approach for achieving fast evasion in self-localized swarms of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) threatened by an intruding moving object is presented in this paper. Motivated by natural self-organizing systems, the presented…
