How Edge Computing Is Reshaping Real-Time Drone Swarm Coordination
Episode 87 of The Edge Computing Podcast dives into how edge computing enables real-time coordination of drone swarms for search-and-rescue, agriculture, and infrastructure inspection. Lucas and Luna explore the 2025 California wildfire trials where a swarm of 50 drones used local compute to map fire perimeters in under 90 seconds without a central cloud. They discuss the shift from cloud-dependent to edge-based mesh networks, the challenges of latency and battery life, and how companies like Skydio and Teal are deploying onboard AI for collision avoidance and task allocation.
