Design of Multi-Agent UAV Simulator to Support the Development of the MARSNet Communication Protocol
AIAA Aviation 2019 Forum, June 2019, Dallas, TX, USA
Abstract
This paper describes the design of a simulator that interfaces ns-3, 1 an event-based network simulator, with ROS 2 and Gazebo, 3 a time-based robotics simulator and physics engine. The proposed simulator is not a replacement for either ROS or ns-3. Rather, it is part of broader efforts to develop a demand-response framework for the decentralized control of multi-agent systems that jointly addresses some of the challenges in task assignment, motion-planning, and distributed communication.
