WOW!!! I JUST LEARNED ABOUT YOU FOLKS. THIS IS AWESOME. YOU ARE SO LUCKY TO BE WORKING ON THIS TECHNOLOGY. YOUR WISDOM WILL BE USED FOR SO MUCH IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THANKS A LOT FOR SHARING WITH US. I LOVED WATCHING AND LEARNING. OF COURSE I SUBSCRIBED AND SHARED AS WELL.
In the case of 6 frames ---- each quad is flown by one controller, correct? once they are all connected, how does the control work? do 6 people coordinate or do the onboard controllers communicate with each other as one? please reply when you have a moment, i would appreciate learning about this. thanks a lot!!
Wow!!! Hi David, thank you so much for your time. I appreciate your reply. I definitely want to get more info on this. Please send to me at the following email address flymetothesky@getnada.com --- I will reply to confirm receipt. Thanks again and best wishes to all of you.
Maybe electromagnet is a good replacement. Then can have more precise control system on whole docked module instead of controlling individual drone blindly.
How do the robots identify each other's positions? Is this done using external camera which detects the tiny white/transparent spheres on the ModQuad frame? Also, can the robots disassemble on their own?
Very nice questions Srijal. It was using a motion capture system (Vicon) to track the location of the robots using the spherical markers. At this moment, the magnets on the robots are pretty strong and the robots do not have enough trust to disassemble. It would be a future work.
There's also mathematical models to acomplish this. You should take a look to Penn State Robotics Specialization , in particular the first course called Aerial Robotics. In the last lectures they talk about swarm control of robots.

Won't the magnets interfere with the internal compass and IMU of quadcopter?

Each quad rotor controlled by one transmitter?

Hi Mc Cc, thanks for you interest! I can send you the paper in which we describe all the details about it.

So, how to undock in mid-air?
They cannot undock yet. The magnets are too strong and the motors are weak.
Maybe electromagnet is a good replacement. Then can have more precise control system on whole docked module instead of controlling individual drone blindly.
are those manually controlled?
Hi Srijal, the robots are autonomous

Thanks for replying. All the best! :)
