Development of a Swarm UAV Simulator Integrating Realistic Motion Control Models For Disaster Operations

摘要

Simulation environments for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can be veryuseful for prototyping user interfaces and training personnel that will operateUAVs in the real world. The realistic operation of such simulations will onlyenhance the value of such training. In this paper, we present the integrationof a model-based waypoint navigation controller into the Reno Rescue Simulatorfor the purposes of providing a more realistic user interface in simulatedenvironments. We also present potential uses for such simulations, even forreal-world operation of UAVs.
