Thanks @Gerald_Peklar for a great presentation!

Also we had a poll for the new topic:

Aerial robotics simulation 2
Message standards for UAVs 1
Swarm communication 3
Safety management systems 1
Legality and Airspace access 0
Hardware, components, devkits 0
Aerial vehicle types 0
Planning in 3D 2
Another topic… namely… (say in chat) 0

So we will be having a discussion about Swarm communication in the next meeting on 2023-06-21T14:00:00Z. I’ll send a reminder for that in this thread somewhere next week.
