Description This work has its roots in the context of cloud robotics, where multiple entities are interconnected through a shared infrastructure and build up an ecosystem that is foreseen to let flying robots interact with each other and with human beings in a seamless way in order to create effective applications. In such a scenario, users’ ability to take control of robots during the execution of a given task can vary from tele-operation (where users remotely issue the needed flight commands) to full autonomy (where users are just provided with cues about actual robots’ status). The goal of this thesis is to design and develop operational intelligence modules (e.g., for real-time motion, flight planning, etc.) required to implement drones’ autonomous behaviors as well as to support the users in tele-operation tasks. According to the adjustable autonomy paradigm, the above modules will be in charge to make or support decisions influencing drone’s or user’s operations based on the analysis of available contextual information regarding, e.g., the number of drones to be controlled, the presence of possible static and moving obstacles, the operator’s cognitive load as well as external conditions and events (like weather forecasts, etc.).
