Multiple Drones Coordination
Overview
Disasters like hurricanes, flood, and power outages pose significant challenges for emergency response. Thus, slowing down response team's ability to locate and rescue affected persons. This project aims to develop a multi-drone coordination system in a realistic 3D simulation environment to enhance target detection and improve disaster response effectiveness. By providing a platform for testing and validating algorithms, this system will enable performing more effective rescue missions, advance scientific study, and enable future real-world applications.
Community Benefit
The Multiple Drones Coordination System (MDCS) aims to better emergency disaster response by enabling collaboration among multiple drones. Immediate assessment and coordination are important for saving lives in emergencies; such as natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, and power outages. Our project offers real-time monitoring, target detection, and support during rescue operations, allowing emergency teams to locate victims and deploy resources more efficiently.
MDCS promises safer and more reliable rescue operations as it is equipped with a collision avoidance system, a control algorithm, and an intuitive interface (making it easy to learn and use). Apart from emergency response, the system can be utilized as a simulation platform for testing multi-drone strategies, improving disaster preparedness, and strengthening community resilience. By streamlining coordination and decision-making, MDCS makes disaster response faster, safer, and more efficient.
