Multi-drone Simulation

Please start the simulator one by one!

docker run -p 5671:5672 -it --name sitl_1 waiting33118/ardupilot-sitl  # 1st
docker run -p 5672:5672 -it --name sitl_2 waiting33118/ardupilot-sitl  # 2nd
docker run -p 5673:5672 -it --name sitl_3 waiting33118/ardupilot-sitl  # 3rd

After enter the terminal, execute the script

./start

Experiment Results

Control drone by platform service Pilot remotely control
