Abstract

Internet of drones (IoD) provides coordinated access, between drones and users, over the Internet to controlled airspace. With advanced drone, mobile and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, today’s drones are equipped with sophisticated onboard AI software that enhances drone services and our way of life (e.g., package delivery, traffic surveillance). As IoD grows, there is a need to effectively manage large-scaled drones with multiple regulation and resource constraints, particularly energy usage. This paper presents preliminary work on generic architecture and operations to lay foundations for intelligent drone management systems. By also introducing a method to pre-determine estimated energy consumption of deep neural net image analysis deployed in drones, the paper illustrates this work on managing the search rescue drone autonomy to decide on its actions based on energy consumption. The proposed approach can be extended to manage a network of drones and additional resource constraints including response time, safety or environmental compliance and financial budget.
