摘要
A decentralized swarm of quadcopters designed for monitoring an open area and detecting intruders is proposed. The system is designed to be scalable and robust. The most important aspect of the system is the swarm intelligent decision-making process that was developed. The rest of the algorithms essential for the system to be completed are also described. The designed algorithms were developed using ROS and tested with SITL simulations in the GAZEBO environment. The proposed approach was tested against two other similar surveilling swarms and one approach using static cameras. The addition of the real-time decision-making capability offers the swarm a clear advantage over similar systems, as depicted in the simulation results.
