Autonomous Swarm UAV System — TEKNOFEST 2026

Overview

As team captain at the TEKNOFEST 2026 Swarm UAV Competition I led software development and mission integration for the swarm system. Our original mission algorithms and mobile Ground Control Station earned the Original Software Award.

Technical Approach

• ArduPilot and MAVLink based multi-UAV control infrastructure; an autonomous swarm running on a leader–follower architecture.
• Decision mechanisms such as QR-based mission chain, formation switching, holding and target approach executed autonomously.
• Communication and safety algorithms for real-time inter-UAV data sharing, mission synchronization and collision avoidance.

Key Features

• Dynamic QR mission chain
• Autonomous formation switching
• Real-time inter-vehicle data sharing and mission synchronization
• Collision avoidance algorithms
• Flutter mobile Ground Control Station: telemetry, vehicle position tracking and mission status in one interface
• Autonomous mission management
