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

这项受技术启发的创新旨在开发软件和硬件，以支持展示一群机器人机载传感器平台(RASP)，这些平台能够快速、自主地执行任务，并且比单一传感器平台的成本低得多，或者执行原本无法使用单一传感器平台完成的任务，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个用户需求。桑德地球物理有限公司总裁斯蒂芬·桑德表示，地球物理调查的主要成本是参与调查的人数和这些人在现场花费的时间。部署Rasp群而不是单个Rasp实现了规模经济，就像火车司机在驾驶火车时所做的那样，而不是拥有许多公交车并需要支付许多公交车司机的费用。

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.
