Abstract

The flight of unmanned aerial vehicles in formation has a wide range of applications and has been studied intensively in recent years. There are different approaches that have been investigated. This project aims the study of the leader-follower approach for quadrotors formation, the development of algorithms and codes that fulfill this task and, in addition, the implementation of the same, both in simulator and quadrotors.
