CELERI — drone group management system
CELERI is an adaptive complex of linked devices acting according to a pre-defined scenario.
The CELERI Swarm is a group of drones united in a single decentralised communication network for collaborative problem solving.

Advantages of CELERI
Performance
High speed terrain analysis and data transmission
Automation
Possibility of automated decision-making in real time
Stand-alone diagnostics
Possibility of automated detection and elimination of failures at the facility in real time
Swarm work
Distribution of the task in the group when receiving a mission
Continuity
Ensuring uninterrupted realisation of the task at hand
Robotisation
Use of robotic power in hard-to-reach and hazardous locations
Characteristics of the swarm
- Resource allocation group analysis and master selection and task allocation
- Distribution of the task in the group when receiving a mission
- Full interchangeability of devices in a group and automatic replenishment or reduction of the group
- Scenario variability in problem formulation
- Continuous operation cycle when the main battery is replaced
- Quick return to the group
Group work
- The communication between the swarm and the control centre is a single-point connection relying on a specific robotic device - MASTER. Other participants in the system are the swarm's slave nodes - SLAVEs - which exchange data within the swarm and accept tasks from MASTER
- When one of the SLAVEs of a swarm link drops out, the MASTER reassigns its tasks to other participants among the SLAVEs
- When MASTER drops out of swarm communication, resource allocation occurs and MASTER becomes the robotic device with the highest resource charge
Functionality
- It is possible to place several sensitive sensors on board at the same time for effective solution of tasks
- Independent suspension with steerable joints on Rovers
