The objective of this project is to focus on technologies for enabling heterogeneous networks of autonomous vehicles to cooperate together on a specific task. The prototyped test bed consists of a retrofitted electric golf cart and a quadrotor designed to perform distributed information gathering to guide decision making across the entire test bed. The system prototype demonstrates several aspects of this technology and lays the groundwork for future projects in this area.
