Operating Drones under Robot Operating System (ROS)

An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is a type of aircraft which can be driven
without any pilot, crew or passenger on board. Hence, the size of UAV can be as
small as a toy or even as big as a normal aircraft depending on its usage. The term
UAV does include both Remotely Piloted Vehicles (RPVs) as well as autonomous
drones [1]. Thus, an UAV is widely known as a drone. A drone is normally equipped
with lots of sensors such as ultrasonic sensors, gyroscope, accelerometer, proximity
sensor, camera and more which allows the drone or the flying robot to be more
intelligent while collecting more data for the controller. Basically, the drone will be
operated and controlled under Robot Operating System (ROS). Whereas the final
aim of this project is to operate multiple drones simultaneously using only one
controller.
