In this paper, we introduce outdoor multi-drone platform which is supposed to be used for several purposes. The main application of the platform in this paper is a visual performance show called “the memory of fireflies.” We explain the process of modification of the pure drone frame for our purpose and control algorithm for achieving the desired performance. Due to inaccuracy of the positioning data of the drones in outdoor environments, the performance should be constrained compared to the cases of indoor environments. We show how we generate desired trajectories that satisfy the constraints due to the capacity of the drones.
