SUTRA.
Exploring how a coordinated drone swarm could support search and rescue when navigation and communication become unreliable.
What I worked on
Technical lead for guidance, navigation, control, and communication simulation. The wider team contributed perception, the ground-control dashboard, documentation, and operational planning.
How the pieces fit
- Connect flight control, perception, and a ground station through a modular ROS 2 architecture.
- Explore formation control and collision avoidance in simulation.
- Investigate learned communication with Deep JSCC and a radio-frequency simulation workbench.
Where it stands
A hackathon research prototype. Simulated results and repository test reports do not establish field readiness or deployment performance.
What I’m taking forward
Autonomy is a systems problem. Control, perception, communication, and the operator experience have to work together.
