A modular multi-UAV system for precision agriculture applications

We develop a modular hardware and software framework for multi-Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) applications, focusing on monitoring tasks in Precision Agriculture (PA). The hardware consists of a feet of multirotor UAVs and a ground control station, interconnected via a Wi-Fi mesh network. We validate the framework with a multi-UAV coverage mission for field monitoring, presenting results from both simulation and experiments in representative conditions. Additionally, we analyze the communication hardware, particularly range and potential failure scenario.
