I thought I would post some information about some research I have done.
This video shows a simulation of UAVs swarming with an advanced control algorithms.
Seven UAVs are shown, which find a source of fumes or aerosols by measuring the concentration at their actual position. Due to communication and a distributed Extended Kalman Filter they estimate the fumes position. These UAVs fly at a certain concentration line, which in the video is marked blue.
This is just a demonstartion of one kind of task for the swarm.

Hi Thomas,
even though this video is pretty old, I haven’t published it yet. I will publish it in the next few months. But I gave in 2011 a talk at a workshop in Germany.

The talk is in German, but should give you an impression. If you have a any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
where can find your paper and some reference about your algorithm statement?
How do they avoid the obstacles? Do they keep recomputing trajectories as they fly?
A Greg Fletcher I had 8 track in my car and in the house . you still see them the odd time at yard sales . Interesting pattern . have a great day!
That's really cool. I have seen patterns like those in my navigation experiments. Infinity of figure 8 tracks. False turn arounds. If you know what an 8 track tape is, your pretty old :)
