Couple of interest videos related to decentralised co-ordination (in the second case, there is an overhead from a UAV).
This is a nice talk and demo from Vijay Kumar at the TED talks, showing agile flight control, formation flying and (more interestingly from my point of view) decentralised co-ordination. Definitely worth a read of some papers from here. He talks at one point about disaster relief work although I think the reference is to lower-level building infiltration. The video concludes with the now well-known James Bond theme played by drones.
This second video shows an interesting amalgamation of a flying co-ordinator sending instructions to co-operative ground based agents. I'm wondering if this could be applied to our forest fire scenario where both UAV and UGV agents will be working together. Also, the colour algorithm they demonstrate would surely be improved using simple number-selection and passing algorithms wirelessly, rather than visible light? This will negate the need for line-of-sight visibility as long as each robot can broadcast some kind of identifier.
Food for thought I think.
