Simulating drone-be-gone: Agile low-cost cyber-physical UAV Testbed (Demonstration)

Abstract

In this paper, we demonstrate Drone-Be-Gone (DbeG): a general-purpose, inexpensive, and agile UAV Cyber-Physical System (CPS) testbed. We implement on our testbed 2-D vision-based localization within 5 cm precision, controllability of multiple UAVs, a simulation environment of our testbed in 2-D (named TeSLA), and external processing units (EPU). The testbed has the ability to switch between centralized or distributed control and processing due to the addition of EPUs. The simulator will allow users to interact with our testbed virtually and observe its behavior.
