Testbed for implementation of consensus strategies on a team of Multi-Agent Aircraft Systems at outdoors environments

Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of outdoors implementation of consensus strategies for velocity tracking of a Multi-Agent System (MAS). To overcome the inherent issues present in these type of applications, we developed testbed to based on a reliable communication network that enables a team of multiple Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) to achieve velocity matching. In order to prove the effectiveness of the proposed platform we perform two different experiments at outdoors environments with a team of three UAS. Finally, we provide the conclusions and discuss the main results of our work, as well as the future directions of this project.
