Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach to autonomously navigate multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) of type Parrot AR Drone 2.0 inside a closed environment. The UAVs will be assigned to follow a set of way points. A multi-UAV control algorithm will be developed using MATLAB/ Simulink to materialize the concept of centralized formation flight. The experiment data will be analyzed further to develop and implement Multi-UAV cooperative control methodology.
