AMOVLAB Solution
A high-end solution built for UAV swarm search missions, integrating UAV platforms, onboard computing, high-precision positioning, reliable communication links, intelligent visual perception, and distributed swarm search software.
The package gives researchers a flexible full-stack platform for swarm planning, swarm perception, collaborative control, target recognition, inter-aircraft collision avoidance, and swarm pursuit experiments.
Solution Overview
The UAV swarm search package is tailored for multi-UAV search scenarios. It integrates advanced UAV flight platforms, high-performance onboard computers, high-precision positioning systems, stable communication links, intelligent vision modules, and software modules for distributed swarm search planning, target recognition, inter-aircraft collision avoidance, and swarm pursuit.
With modular hardware, open architecture, and software support from perception to coordination, the package reduces the research threshold and helps users validate algorithms, build experiments, and pursue innovation in swarm intelligence.
Core Functions
Uses a distributed anti-interference real-time search planning algorithm based on MPC control theory. Each UAV evaluates its task area, own position, other UAV positions, and searched regions in real time to plan its route, enabling distributed computation, reliability, fault tolerance, and fast response to dynamic mission changes.
Uses the SpireCV onboard real-time image processing SDK and YOLOv5-V7 algorithms to detect common targets such as pedestrians, vehicles, bicycles, and boats from gimbal video streams, outputting bounding boxes, target classes, confidence, field-of-view angles, and 3D position references for follow-up control.
Provides dual-layer avoidance protection at the planning and control levels. When two UAVs approach the safety distance, a vector avoidance control component is added to the MPC output so the aircraft move away from each other safely.
When any UAV in the swarm detects and locks onto a target, it sends target information to the other aircraft, which rapidly gather and form a triangular formation for coordinated pursuit.
Provides ground-station software for quick operation and swarm-state display, including UAV connection status, flight mode, position, speed, attitude, 2D/3D maps, mission tasking, and real-time display of searched regions.
Includes a UAV swarm search simulation system so users can develop, verify, and migrate algorithms smoothly to the physical UAV swarm search kit.
Each UAV carries its own computing unit. UAVs exchange data through communication links, while swarm mission control and planning run onboard. The ground station is used mainly for remote data display and mission assignment.
Purchased kits include access to most of the swarm-system code, excluding ground-station software, plus secondary-development interfaces for further research and customization.
AMOVLAB can provide software and hardware customization based on the UAV swarm search package and project requirements.
