Advantages of using multi-agent principles in FAIL - SAFE UAV system design

In this paper, the possibility of using multi-agent systems principles in design of universal Fail - safe UAV structure is presented. The advantages of this approach and a particular system design are introduced. The benefits of multi-agent approach to design the UAV system are related to its desired properties, which is fail safe feature, meaning the resistance of the system to software and hardware failures. There is also proposed a system´s ability to deal with emergency situations and in eventuality of crash, minimal damage caused by accidents. In this context, the ability of “autonomous controlled accident” is described.
