Agentic AI for Safety-critical Multi-drone Systems: Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract

arXiv:2608.21444v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-drone systems are increasingly positioned for safety-critical missions such as search and rescue (SAR) and critical infrastructure monitoring. Yet, real-world adoption remains constrained not only by autonomy performance, but by the difficulty of integrating agentic behavior into professional work: operators must understand, trust, and govern automation under uncertainty, time pressure, and accountability. This position paper synthesizes the
