Centralized Control of Micro-Drone Swarms

Precision Formation Control

Controlling drone swarms presents significant challenges due to communication latencies, state estimation noise, and aerodynamic interference between agents.

This project implements a centralized control framework on a custom micro-drone platform. By leveraging the Vicon Motion Capture System for high-precision external state estimation, we achieved coordinated flight and stable formation control despite these inherent hardware limitations.
