Poster on Christopher Maraffi's Masters thesis in Computer Science research that references paper published in AIIDE 2013 AI & Game Aesthetics Workshop: Inferring Performer Skill from Aesthetic Quality Features in a Dance Game Gesture Corpus, by Christopher Maraffi, Sascha Ishikawa, and Arnav Jhala, 2013.

This was presented at the 10th Annual Graduate Research Symposium on May 9, 2014 at McHenry Library.

Many aerial missions consist of various different tasks.Compared to a single manned aerial vehicle, UnmannedAerial Vehicle (UAV) has a greater operational capability.Furthermore, multi-vehicle systems have the abilityto share tasks and therefor accomplish the mission objectiveswith greater efficiency. The UAVs relay real-time informationbetween each other through a Ground ControlStation (GCS), this configuration is known as a centralizedsystem. Single point failures can cause a centralizedsystem to be non-functional[1]. Alternatively, the UAVscan transmit real-time information between group members,in this configuration the system operates in a decentralizedscheme. Understanding those different strategiesand major difficulties for formation flight testing we adopta Multi-UAVs system design with three components: a’Leader’ UAV, a ’Follower’ UAV and a GCS.
