Implementation of a Robot Operation System-based network for sound source localization using multiple drones

Abstract

This paper presents a communication framework for drone audition systems using multiple drones. A robust communication system is required to ensure a smooth operation of the drone audition system used for search and rescue operations in disaster-stricken areas. Such a communication system must be capable of recovering swiftly from communication disconnections and ensuring low-latency communication even when using multiple drones. To address these issues, we propose a distributed network using the Robot Operation System and evaluate its effectiveness.
