Autonomous formation flight control of multiple UAVs with motion capture system
The evolution from a single entity to multiple entity flight has introduced numerous possibilities of performing multi task by using multiple agent system. In a multiple entity flight or formation, the search in a feasible way of acquiring individual position and attitude estimation system as a dece...
