A novel onboard relative localization method, based on ultraviolet light, used for real-time control of a leader-follower formation of multirotor UAVs, is presented in this paper. A new smart sensor, UVDAR, is employed in an innovative way, which does not require communication and is extremely reliable in real-world conditions. This innovative sensing system exploits UV spectrum and provides relat...
