Dynamic management system, method, and recording medium for cognitive drone-swarms
A method, system, and recording medium including a drone and pattern recruiting device configured to recruit a plurality of drones based on a mission, a flocking goal device configured to arrange the plurality of drones in the drone-swarm in a pattern to satisfy the mission, and a changing device configured to adaptively change the pattern of the drone-swarm based on a condition of the mission indicating a needed change and to cause the drone and pattern recruiting device to recruit an additional drone for the needed change.
1. A dynamic management system for a drone-swarm, comprising:
a drone and pattern recruiting device configured to recruit a plurality of drones based on a flight plan mission for the drones;
a flocking goal device configured to arrange the plurality of drones in the drone-swarm in a pattern to satisfy the mission; and
a changing device configured to adaptively change the pattern of the drone-swarm based on a condition of the mission indicating a needed change and to cause the drone and pattern recruiting device to recruit an additional drone for the needed change.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the additional drone is not in the pattern at a time of the needed change.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the drone and pattern recruiting device recruits the plurality of drones from a hive,
the system further comprising a drone swapping device configured to swap a first drone of the plurality of drones in the drone-swarm with a second drone from the hive.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the drone swapping device includes a drone condition monitoring device configured to monitor a drone condition of each drone of the plurality of drones in the drone-swarm.
5. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a contextual resolution-assessing device configured to monitor the drone-swarm and assess a needed resolution of the pattern to sustain a goal with a predetermined risk level.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the drone and pattern recruiting device recruits the plurality of drones from a plurality of hives.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the drone and pattern recruiting device recruits the plurality of drones which comprise composite drones.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the drone and pattern recruiting device recruits the plurality of drones which comprise different physical characteristics based on the mission.
9. The system of claim 3 , wherein the drone swapping device includes a drone condition monitoring device configured to monitor a drone condition of each drone of the plurality of drones in the drone-swarm, and
wherein the drone swapping device swaps the first drone of the plurality of drones in the drone-swarm with the second drone that is not in the drone-swarm based on a drone condition of the first drone.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the needed change is based on the drone-swarm requiring additional drones having different characteristics to perform the mission than the plurality of drones currently in the drone-swarm.
11. A dynamic management method for a drone-swarm, comprising:
recruiting a plurality of drones based on a flight plan mission for the drones;
arranging the plurality of drones in the drone-swarm in a pattern to satisfy the mission;
adaptively changing the pattern of the drone-swarm based on a condition of the mission indicating a needed change; and
recruiting an additional drone for the needed change.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the additional drone is not in the pattern at a time of the needed change.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the recruiting recruits the plurality of drones from a hive,
the method further comprising swapping a first drone of the plurality of drones in the drone-swarm with a second drone from the hive.
14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising monitoring a drone condition of each drone of the plurality of drones in the drone-swarm.
15. The method of claim 11 , further comprising monitoring the drone-swarm to assess a needed resolution of the pattern to sustain a goal with a predetermined risk level.
16. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium recording a dynamic management program for a drone-swarm, the program causing a computer to perform:
recruiting a plurality of drones based on a flight plan mission for the drones;
arranging the plurality of drones in the drone-swarm in a pattern to satisfy the mission;
adaptively changing the pattern of the drone-swarm based on a condition of the mission indicating a needed change; and
recruiting an additional drone for the needed change.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium of claim 16 , wherein the additional drone is not in the pattern at a time of the needed change.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium of claim 16 , wherein the recruiting recruits the plurality of drones from a hive,
the method further comprising swapping a first drone of the plurality of drones in the drone-swarm with a second drone from the hive.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium of claim 18 , further comprising monitoring a drone condition of each drone of the plurality of drones in the drone-swarm.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium of claim 16 , further comprising monitoring the drone-swarm to assess a needed resolution of the pattern to sustain a goal with a predetermined risk level.
