Core Features Built Into SkyMeshX

A focused overview based on the current SkyMeshX documentation: mission planning, swarm operations, safety automation, inspection workflows, and field-ready UI tools.

Swarm Operations

Multi-drone management

Add, remove, connect, and monitor multiple drones in parallel.

Formation flying

Line, V, grid, circle, wedge, and leader-follower formations.

Synchronized telemetry

Real-time fleet status across connected aircraft.

Safety Automation

Collision avoidance

Integrated APF safety filtering for safer multi-drone motion.

Collision prediction

Closest-point-of-approach warnings with severity visualization.

Smart battery monitoring

Drain-rate tracking and predictive return-to-launch decisions.

Mission Planning

Field coverage planning

Parallel, spiral, grid, and zigzag patterns for complex fields.

Async mission upload

Background uploads with progress, cancellation, and error status.

Drag-and-drop waypoints

Interactive map editing with live route updates and altitude preservation.

Specialized Missions

Solar park inspection

Automated panel coverage, camera control, thermal imaging, and hotspot detection.

Seeding mission planner

Seed-drop point generation, servo commands, and waypoint validation.

Flight data workflows

ROS2 bag compression benchmarking and playback-oriented tooling.

Perception & Autonomy

Voxel obstacle mapping

Depth-sensor point clouds feed perception-based collision avoidance.

Distributed task allocation

Auction-style assignment using distance, battery, workload, and risk.

Operator Interface

Live operational header

Connection widgets, drone badges, UTC clock, and duplicate warnings.

Instrument panel

Armed state, mode, horizon, compass, altitude, speed, battery, and quick commands.

Formation preview

Visual formation planning with leader/follower positions, compass, scale, and grid.

Interface

A cleaner look at the operator workflows behind missions, telemetry, swarm control, and safety decisions.
