  • Abstract
    Cluster control has been explored with a number of platforms at Santa Clara University´s Robotics Systems Laboratory, but has not been thoroughly explored for aerial robots. Building on the foundation of previous work by this lab, a team of students developed an aerial testbed at NASA Ames for Parrot´s AR.Drone 1.0s. This setup was designed to accommodate two and three robot configurations, including both aerial and land-based robots. This publication discusses the testbed setup and presents some of the preliminary results achieved using this testbed.
