SwarmNxt: Open-source Software-Hardware Platform for Fast and Agile Aerial Swarms

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 10, 2026 · UTC

Aerial robot swarms have the potential to transform time-critical safety, security, and search-and-rescue operations. By coordinating multiple robots, they can rapidly survey disaster sites, map collapsed or GPS-denied environments, and search cluttered areas faster than a single robot, reducing response times and minimizing risks to first responders. Realizing this potential, however, requires robust autonomous swarm navigation, which remains an active research challenge. Progress is further constrained by existing platforms, as commercial drones are often closed-source or lack the onboard co
