Drone Swarms for Search & Rescue: From Lawn-Mower Grids to Learning Swarms
A THW pilot still flies lawn-mower grids because his DJI Matrice must stay offline—yet 2024-25 research shows MARL swarms can cut search-time in half. This post blends that field anecdote with the latest on algorithms, simulators, German regulations and PX4-ready hardware, and it sketches a 360-degree thermal-camera concept for future SAR agents.
