Setting up a surveillance system in the civil domain with cooperating UAVs and UGVs

Abstract This work gives an overview of the project SiNafaR, safe navigation for autonomous robot systems, which aims at identifying requirements, legal aspects in Germany, and finding technological solutions for heterogeneous multi robotic systems in the civil sector. Based on a security services scenario a surveillance system consisting of UAVs and UGVs is proposed. Main technological gaps, such as assessable localization, reliable communication and consistent HMI are identified and solutions are presented.
