Elastic Mesh Pathfinding System

An innovative multi-agent pathfinding system that treats drone paths as an interconnected elastic mesh, enabling dynamic path optimization, collision avoidance, and adaptive routing based on environmental conditions.

Challenge

Design a coordinated pathfinding system that could handle multiple agents while maintaining optimal spacing, energy efficiency, and environmental adaptation, all while preventing collisions through a physics-inspired approach.

Solution

Implemented a novel elastic mesh system where each path acts as a dynamic spring, creating a self-organizing network that naturally maintains separation while optimizing routes. The system adapts to obstacles and weather conditions through mesh tension and relaxation.

Implementation

  • Developed physics-based path modeling with spring dynamics and tension propagation
  • Created adaptive mesh networking for multi-agent coordination
  • Implemented real-time weather influence system affecting mesh properties
  • Built comprehensive collision avoidance through mesh tension mechanics
  • Integrated energy optimization through elastic potential minimization
  • Developed real-time visualization system for mesh dynamics and analytics
