%A Owen Holland %A John Woods %A Renzo De Nardi %A Adrian Clarck %T Beyond swarm intelligence: The Ultraswarm %X This paper explores the idea that it may be possible to combine two ideas ? UAV flocking, and wireless cluster computing ? in a single system, the UltraSwarm. The possible advantages of such a system are considered, and solutions to some of the technical problems are identified. Initial work on constructing such a system based around miniature electric helicopters is described. %K Mobile - Wireless Communications, Miniature helicopter, Swarm Robotics %E P. Arabshahi %E A.
