About
Logan Carpenter is a researcher at the forefront of aerial robotic networking, with a primary focus on Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs) and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communication systems. His most-cited work, "To Route or To Ferry: A Hybrid Packet Forwarding Algorithm in Flying Ad Hoc Networks" (2019), addresses a critical challenge in drone swarms: how to efficiently deliver data when direct routing is unreliable. Carpenter’s key contribution is a hybrid algorithm that intelligently switches between traditional multi-hop routing and store-carry-forward "ferrying" based on network topology, significantly improving packet delivery in dynamic, disconnected environments. This work has garnered 19 citations, reflecting its relevance to the growing field of autonomous drone operations. By bridging the gap between routing theory and real-world UAV constraints, Carpenter’s research supports applications in disaster response, surveillance, and remote sensing. His work is particularly notable for its practical focus on the versatility and flexibility of small, easily deployable robotic systems, offering scalable solutions for next-generation aerial networks.
