The North Caucasus Federal University said scientist Vladimir Antonov has developed a control system for a group of drones that allows them to “negotiate” among themselves while solving problems. It has been reported TASS Regarding the university’s press centre.
“The advantage of our system is that it is decentralized. There is no single server to control all robots, each has its own intelligence. By voting, the robots “accept” which ones and which task to perform, depending on the circumstances. They are now united in herd intelligence, ”quotes Antonov’s press center.
The work “Development of methods and algorithms for the UAV swarm control system when performing heterogeneous tasks” is supported by a grant from the President of Russia.
University employees plan to test the algorithm’s work on ground robots. Experts predict that in the future such drone swarms could help firefighters and rescuers, police officers and others in their work.
Earlier, the press service of the National Technology Initiative said that Russian scientists created drone “Begalet-Mirage”. In addition to vertical take-off and landing, the new unmanned aerial vehicle can spend up to 12 hours at an altitude of eight thousand meters.
Before that, the Ural company “Unmanned Vehicles” introduced A sample of Russia’s first jet-powered FPV kamikaze drone of the K-5 aircraft type at a military exhibition at VDNKh.
