A team of aerial and ground robots operating in a coordinated way is the key to large-scale operations in kilometer-scale environments. Nonetheless, significant challenges, such as orchestration, intermittent communications, and command-and-control of the team, need to be solved. This talk will explore an application where a team of ground robots performs a search mission, with an UAV acting as an eye in the sky and a data mule between the different ground robots. We will focus on the challenges for this task and how PX4 can be used in a heterogeneous team of aerial and ground robots. We will show examples of the system in large-scale urban and rural environments. Finally, we will mention how large foundational models can enable more complex tasks for a robot team.
