Abstract
Disaster scenarios can present unique challenges and risks to those assessing the situation. Some of these risks can be dangerous, if not fatal, to humans and render this task to be better suited for coordinated robots. We present our solution of a flying mesh network built upon Crazyflie drones and cost-effective IoT nodes. The IoT nodes collaborate with each other via OpenThread - the latest open- source mesh networking protocol released by Google. In this paper we present the development and demonstration of the flying mesh network for exploration and assessment of disaster scenarios.
