GeoSwarm = A swarm of robotic airborne sensor platforms with wireless networking

这项技术激发创新的目的是开发软件和硬件，以实现一群机器人机载传感器平台（rasp）的演示，这些平台能够快速、自主地执行任务，而且比单个传感器平台的成本要低得多，或者，执行使用单个传感器平台无法完成的任务，充分利用无线连接和同步、精确、定时。例如，在飞行的分布式天线中。我们对这项技术有多种用户需求。Sander地球物理有限公司总裁Stephan Sander表示，地球物理调查的主要成本是参与调查的人员数量和他们在现场花费的时间。部署RASP群而不是单个RASP可以实现规模经济，就像火车司机在驾驶火车时所做的那样，而不是拥有许多公共汽车并需要支付许多公共汽车司机。

The aim of this technology inspired innovation is to develop the software and hardware to enable the demonstration of a swarm of robotic airborne sensor platforms (RASPs) capable of performing tasks quickly, autonomously and far less expensively than is possible with a single sensor platform, or, performing tasks that cannot otherwise be accomplished using a single sensor platform, making full use of wireless connectivity and synchronised, precision, timing, e.g. in a flying distributed antenna. We have multiple User Requirements for this technology. Stephan Sander, President of Sander Geophysics Limited, stated that the dominant costs of a geophysical survey are the number of people involved in the survey and time those people spend in the field. Deployment of a RASP swarm rather than a single RASP achieves the economies of scale much like a train driver does when driving a train, as opposed to having many buses and needing to pay many bus drivers.
