Personality sharing among drone swarm
First Claim

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- identifying, by a first drone, a situational context based on signals from at least one sensor;
selecting, by the first drone, an action based on an algorithm of the first drone that defines behaviors in response to the situational context, including movement, noise level, speed and responsivity to spoken language; and
communicating, by the first drone, the algorithm of the first drone to at least a second drone within a swarm of drones, the first drone being a member of the swarm of drones.

Abstract
A drone identifies situational context (based on signals from at least one sensor) and selects an action in response to the situational context, based on a personality of the drone. The drone then communicates its personality to other drones within a swarm of drones, the drone being a member of the swarm of drones.

10. A computer program product for controlling a drone in a swarm of drones, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium that embodies program instructions executable by a drone to cause the drone to:
-
identify situational context based on signals from at least one sensor; select an action, based on an algorithm of the drone that defines behaviors in response to the situational context, including movement, noise level, speed, and responsivity to spoken language; and communicate the algorithm of the drone to at least a second drone in the swarm. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A drone apparatus comprising:
-
at least one sensor; a memory; a communications module; and at least one processor, coupled in communication with the memory, the sensor, and the communications module, and operative to; identify situational context based on signals from the at least one sensor; select an action to take, based on an algorithm, facilitated in the processor, that defines behaviors in response to the situational context including movement, noise level, speed, and responsivity to spoken language; and communicate the algorithm to another processor via the communications module. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
