Optimum k-Nearest Neighbors for Heading Synchronization on a Swarm of UAVs under a Time-Evolving Communication Network by Rigoberto Martínez-Clark, Javier Pliego-Jimenez, Juan Francisco Flores-Resendiz, David Avilés-Velázquez

“…This paper contains a statistical analysis to determine an optimal neighborhood size for a swarm of up to 100 UAVs, that seeks heading synchronization using a simple P-like control algorithm, in order to reduce the calculations on every UAV, this is especially important if it is intended to be implemented in drones with limited capabilities, as in swarm robotics. Based on the literature of bird flocks, that establishes that the neighborhood of every bird is fixed around seven teammates, two approaches are treated in this work: (i) the analysis of the optimum percentage of neighbors from a 100-UAV swarm, that is necessary to achieve heading synchronization, and (ii) the analysis to determine if the problem is solved in swarms of different sizes, up to 100 UAVs, while maintaining seven nearest neighbors among the members of the group. …”
