Abstract
As the development of technology, the demand of operating UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) in group grows larger. In the operation of group UAVs, it is important that who the leaders should be and who the followers will be. We use multi agent technique to this problem. This study proposes the mechanism of leader selection based on influence of an agent to its neighbors' movement. The influence value can be calculated by the forces from neighborhood agents. In the proposed method, the leaders are selected dynamically and adaptively. Simple computer simulation shows the effectiveness of the method.
