wifi-densepose-swarm

Drone swarm control system for the RuView wifi-densepose workspace. Implements ADR-148.

Overview

wifi-densepose-swarm provides a hierarchical-mesh drone swarm coordination system with Raft consensus, MAPPO-based multi-agent reinforcement learning, and tight integration with the existing WiFi CSI sensing pipeline (wifi-densepose-signal, wifi-densepose-ruvector).

Features

• Hierarchical-Mesh Topology — cluster heads over Raft consensus; inter-cluster Gossip for map dissemination
• Formation Control — F1 VirtualStructure, F2 LeaderFollower, F3 Reynolds flocking
• 3-Phase Coverage — boustrophedon sweep → Bayesian probability grid → multi-drone triangulation
• RRT-APF Path Planner — RRT* with Artificial Potential Field reactive collision avoidance
• MARL Actor (MAPPO) — 64-dim local observation, 3-layer MLP actor, CTDE training interface
• CSI Sensing Integration — drone payload pipeline (ESP32-S3 → Jetson), multi-drone CSI fusion
• OccWorld Bridge — integrates ADR-147 OccWorld occupancy prior as path planner environment
• Security Hardening — MAVLink v2 HMAC-SHA256 signing, UWB GPS anti-spoofing, onboard geofencing, Remote ID
• Fail-Safe State Machine — 10-state onboard safety system, GCS-independent
• Demo & Training Modes — synthetic CSI generation, Gazebo/PX4 SITL interface, TOML mission configs

ITAR Notice

⚠️ Export-controlled capability. Swarming coordination features (formation control, Raft consensus, task allocation) are gated behind the itar-unrestricted feature flag per USML Category VIII(h)(12). Default builds compile only safe stubs. Do not enable itar-unrestricted for international distribution without export counsel review.

Crate Features

Feature	Description
default	Core types, sensing, failsafe, config, MARL — no ITAR-gated code
itar-unrestricted	Enables formation control, Raft consensus, task allocation
mavlink	MAVLink v2 protocol support
onnx	ONNX Runtime backend for MARL actor inference (INT8)
simulation	Simulation-mode stubs
demo	Synthetic CSI generation, scenario runners
full	All of the above

Quick Start

use wifi_densepose_swarm::{config::SwarmConfig, demo::scenario::DemoScenario};

// Load a mission profile
let config = SwarmConfig::sar_default();

// Run a demo scenario
let scenario = DemoScenario::sar_rubble_field(4); // 4-drone SAR
let estimated_secs = scenario.estimate_coverage_time_secs();
// → < 240 s for 4 drones over 400×400 m (beyond Wi2SAR SOTA single-drone baseline)

Mission Profiles

Profile	Drones	Area	Application
sar	6–12	400×400 m	Structural collapse victim search
inspection	3–6	Linear corridor	Infrastructure (power lines, bridges)
agriculture	4–12	Field-configurable	NDVI mapping, variable-rate spraying
mine	2–4	Tunnel	GPS-denied underground exploration
relay	6–20	Perimeter	Emergency telecom relay chain
demo	Any	Configurable	Synthetic CSI, configurable victims
