Methods, systems, and computer readable media for controlling a fleet of drones. A method includes receiving a mission specification for each drone of one or more drones, each mission specification including spatio-temporal requirements for the drone. The method includes generating, for each drone, a low-rate trajectory for the drone by performing a robustness maximization of satisfying the mission specification over a low-rate sequence of waypoints for the drone based on a mapping between low-rate trajectories and high-rate trajectories. The method includes transmitting, to each drone, the low-rate trajectory for the drone, causing a local controller of each drone to control the drone by generating a high-rate trajectory using the low-rate trajectory and the mapping between low-rate trajectories and high-rate trajectories.
