Towards Anti-Collision Coordination for UAVs with Serverless Edge Computing

Autonomously flying unmanned aerial vehicles in logistics, agriculture, and other domains will take up considerable airspace in the future. In areas with a high amount of air traffic, ground coordination to detect and mitigate encounters with collision risks is required. We propose a serverless approach to build and deploy such a system using edge computing resources. Serverless abstractions allow domain experts to focus on implementing the application logic while the underlying platform manages constrained resources and low-latency service access.
