## Highlights

- **6.** among 10 finalists

## Overview

We competed in the Teknofest 2022 Swarm Robotics Competition as İLTER YAZILIM, the team of the Science, Idea and Art community. I served as software team lead and built the swarm controller software.

## Swarm Control Architecture

The system ran on a ROS "Master–Slave" topology: the referee (Master) PC published obstacle and target positions as ROS topics, while our team software (Slave) published our drones' poses and listened to rivals' and obstacles' positions to compute collision-free swarm motion. I controlled Crazyflie 2.0 nano-quadcopters over Crazyradio PA in Python, running takeoff/landing and position commands concurrently by assigning a thread per drone.

## The Tasks

The competition had three tasks: obstacle avoidance, a cargo-carrying race against a rival swarm (collision avoidance via shared poses), and a mixed-swarm fire-extinguishing task together with a ground robot.

## Outputs & Results

We placed 6th among the 10 finalist teams. I built swarm control software that coordinates multiple autonomous aerial vehicles in real time, collision-free — reaching the finals on our first swarm-robotics attempt.
