Outdoor Multi-Robot System

Kicking swarm robots out of the lab

One of the most important challenges in swarm robotics is to move on and push the frontier to large robot teams operating outdoors. Large autonomous robot swarms under water and on water have been reported before but for ground robots the challenge is still huge. In this project we work on an outdoor robot swarm based on the Clearpath Robotics Jackal Robot. We have a swarm of six Jackal robots ready.
