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.

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
