I would like to control multiple UAV simultaneously to generate patterns like Intel did at the Olympics opening ceremony and here:

Do you know if some kind of library exists that would help to program such simultaneous flight paths? Given a spatial geometric configuration of the UAV, the library should help generate the trajectories (collision free) needed to bring each UAV into position.
Any reference, book or research paper about this topic is also welcome!
Thanks!
I hope these articles can assist you:

Thank you Mr So! I will definitely look at these papers. Do you know if any of these implemented their solutions as Open Source software?
I found that the company Ars Electronica SPAXELS does exactly what I would like to accomplish:

Does anybody know other companies beside Intel that specialize in that kind of application?
Thank you M. Chen! I did not know this company or their products. I'll look into their products for sure. It might even be easier to use than Ars Electronica SPAXELS.

Seems the Ehang company suggested by M. Chen is only offering consulting services for creating drone shows and not selling their software...
