Abstract

Due to the increased complexity of tasks delegated to unmanned systems, their collective use is becoming of paramount importance for performing any reasonable jobs. An approach is offered where group behaviors are accomplished automatically rather than set up manually, as usual. Missions in the Distributed Scenario Language (DSL) can be executed jointly by communicating interpreters in system units. Scenarios like reconnaissance, camp security, convoy, mule, and explosive ordnance disposal in DSL, oriented on different numbers of cooperating units, are demonstrated. The approach allows us to effectively manage any teams, from human to robotic, and from homogeneous to heterogeneous, regardless of the number of components in them. A variety of other applications of the technology are outlined too, already researched or prospective, also its relation to the gestalt philosophy, where super-summative whole dominates over system parts, defining their sense and even existence, rather than vice versa. The paradigm discussed may also represent a distributed dynamic world super-machine operating in parallel with both information and physical matter.
