A development repository to control multiple drones through the use of a navigation library. This utilizes the Airsim simulation plugin for Unreal Engine and is currently only tested for that environment. More updates will be forthcoming.
This work came out of research conducted with Professor Shreyas Sundaram of Purdue University. Currently the Nav library produces a set of waypoints based upon the input and output coordinates. While not fully tested, this was used to simulate a Lead-Chase scenario for two drones. This project will be updated periodically with updates as we work on different routing protocols.
- Create a standard routing library to generate routes, similar to ArduPilot.
- Create a multi-agent routing library to aid researchers in utilizing multiple UAVs.
- Provide open-source software that is an outgrowth for the SWARM simulator (currently in development).
Currently, main.py contains the execution script for allowing two drones to execute a lead-follow manuever. To utilize this behavior:
- Set the start and stop coordinates in the
waypoints.json. - Set the number of waypoints that you want to generate in
main.py. This will only generate a straight path for now.
route = Nav(file_name, numb_waypoints=50) # This is an example of what ya'll can do with it.
Run the script and use the breakpoint keys to control the simulation. Turns, orbits, etc. are in the works!
