Implementation of Distributed Localized Communications

Creator:: Snyder, Thomas
Abstract:: Artificial collectives are useful for accomplishing tasks that require teamwork from multiple simple robots. Multiple robot and collective testbeds have been developed, yet none stay committed to leverage the local interactions, group size, and imperfect information assumptions that strengthen biological collectives. A review of the collective and multiple robot literature,...

Using the Rotorwash of a Quadcopter Drone to Remove Dust from a Solar Panel

Creator:: Holman, Samantha K.
Abstract:: The electrical output of solar panels is reduced when dust covers the panels, but the air movement produced by a flying drone can be used to remove this debris. This research project will study the effectiveness of a quadcopter drone in dusting a solar panel. A solar panel was covered...
