Abstract

This paper presents a hierarchical flight control system for tilt-rotor drones. The offered approach performs high-level mission goals by gradually confirming them into machine-level instructions. The learned data from numerous sensors is spread backside to the greater levels for sensitive decision making. Each vertical take-off and landing drone is linked through regular wireless communication rules for accessible multi-agent facility. The proposed flight control system has been effectively employed on several small tilt-rotor drones and validated in some applications. Solutions from waypoint navigation, a probabilistic chase-evasion competition and vision-based object chasing show the capability of the recommended method for intelligent flying drones.
