Project overview
SwarmSync OS is an open-source real-time operating system designed from the ground up for multi-agent drone coordination. It handles mesh networking, distributed task allocation, and fault-tolerant handoff between units — all with sub-100ms latency. The project is currently running on a 4-drone testbed and is targeting a 16-drone SAR demo.
Who we're looking for
- Firmware engineer with RTOS experience (FreeRTOS or Zephyr)
- RF/mesh networking specialist
- Field tester with SAR or emergency response background
Project goals
- Open-source v1.0 release
- 16-drone coordinated SAR demo
- FAA Part 107 compliance documentation
Request to collaborate
Introduce yourself and tell Kai Nakamura why you'd be a great fit for SwarmSync OS.
