    Abstract

    This work presents a concept of intelligent micro drones which are motivated by flying insects such as bees. The presented micro drones can perform bio inspired complex tasks autonomously using simple sensors which require very low computing power. In particular, we present a set of algorithms for obstacle avoiding, navigation, swarm formation flight and mapping all based on sub-gram sensors which are applicable for on-board processing by micro drones. Using both simulation and field experiment we conclude that many bio-inspired challenges can be performed without the use of high resolution visual sensors. Moreover autonomous micro drones can take part in a wide range of research fields including: mobile sensor networks and swarm algorithms for search rescue.
