Report on the AFOSR Workshop on UAV Testbeds and Simulations

摘要

The workshop was held in August following the contractors meeting to discuss the UAV testbeds that are currently being developed by several academic groups working with AFOSR, and AFRL. The main purpose of the workshop was to bring the primary researchers together with the goals of: (1) Developing a consistent and flexible simulation environment for the cooperative control problem. The primary roles of this simulation would be to facilitate communication between researchers (both academic and government) using a common platform with consistent assumptions. The scenarios and setup would be designed to focus on the role of uncertainty in the distributed control problem (either due to inconsistent or incomplete information) and (2) Establishing what UAV platforms are currently available. What demonstrations have been done, and what do we expect to show in the next 3 years.
