Abstract :
This paper describes the development of a prototype testbed. We have designed and constructed the testbed for network control of distributed vehicle networks, and the developed system supports communication via a combination of wireless and wired media. The testbed consists of planar aerial vehicles (hovercraft) which communicate via a wireless network. Complete details and current development can be found at http://legend.me.uiuc.edu/hotdec.
