| + | ===== Studying collaboration between flying robots and ground-based robots ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | In previous studies, it has been shown that multiple ground-based robots can autonomously form various patterns by attaching to each other. These robots used simple rule sets and local communication to form pre-defined or random patterns. In this thesis, the student will study how flying robots can collaborate with ground-based robots to select and control the pattern formation process. The student will implement the results of his study and various other algorithms that would facilitate such a collaboration. In order to gain a sound understanding of the matter, the student will first study and benchmark collaboration techniques used in existing robotic systems including flying and ground-based robots. | ||

| + | A possible candidate student must be very motivated, ready to invest extra hours into the thesis, and have a good grasp of C++. The working language is English. | ||
