Project Overview
The project aims at developing a set of non-identical aerial robots, which can communicate with each other and track an object in 3-dimensions making formations according to the obstacles on the way. The robots are decentralized and the collection of robots can figure out collectively by communicating with each other, the optimal possible formations for tracking or performing the assigned task.
