摘要： A method for controlling a swarm of autonomous vehicles to perform a multitude of tasks using either a one touch or a single gesture/action command. These commands may include sending the swarm on an escort mission, protecting a convoy, distributed surveillance, search and rescue, returning to a base, or general travel to a point as a swarm. A gesture to initiate a command may include a simple touch of a button, drawing a shape on the screen, a voice command, shaking the unit, or pressing a physical button on or attached to the mobile platform.

摘要： A method, system and apparatus to detect when one or more airborne unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) are close to each other, and to take necessary actions to maintain a minimum distance between drones as well as a maximum distance among the drones in a dynamic environment by automatic navigation. A computer method and apparatus for holding a group of drones in a swarm formation by maintaining the group centroid of the group of drones within a tolerance of a predetermined location is also disclosed. Additionally, methods to move a swarm of drones along a predetermined path while maintaining the swarm formation of the drones is also disclosed.
