Abstract
Since a few years, the number of real world applications that use drones keeps on increasing. It has also been demonstrated that swarms of heterogeneous drones can offer more features and thus support more services than single drones. While working on this paradigm, we have developed an application that makes it possible to clean a green space, using an autonomous swarm of heterogeneous drones (aerial and terrestrial). This application is called GreenSword. We describe the underlying scientific challenges of this system, our current implementation and give the retex we gained from initial experiments.
