Simulation of swarm behaviour

Drone swarm simulation

DroneSwarm is a last year project for swarm behaviour simulation in an obstructed environment implemented in C++. It provides an environment for:

• Adding moving objects linked together (swarm)
• Defining a target that the agents will try to reach
• Setting up a solid environment

Installation

This program was built for Unix system. The only dependency to get the simulation running is gtk3 (requirement for the interface).

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential libgtk-3-dev
git clone https://github.com/frgfm/drone-swarm.git

## Usage

As the core code is in C++, you will need to compile it with g++ (with c++11 support). If this is not the case, please modify your own version of the Makefile.

cd drone-swarm
make all && ./demo

Features to be improved

Some methods of the simulators could be improved and optimized to speed up computation time and boost performance. Better path finding algorithm could be used also:

• Path finding algorithm
• Acceleration in movement for continuous speed
• Mouse interface for environment definition
