"Knowledge" in a System of Drones Lifting a Load

Abstract

The system of dierential equations related to the problem of lifting and transporting a load with a group of drones has a complex coupled structure and a set of linear and nonlinear transformations on several dynamical variables. Fundamentally, the system evolution description shows rotational. (skew–symmetric matrix), translational (ane), and projective (through a local system of coordinates rotation matrices) transformations; which permits to state the ansage that the “knowledge"2  that a system has appears through the information manipulation by means of linear and/or non–linear transformations. The system of drones lifting and transporting a load is quite interesting because, in addition to what the previous paragraph says, it is useful to introduce the idea of system’s intentionality to get a goal, and that this intentionality has an interpretation as transformation. This work introduces the first steps to the analysis of the concept of knowledge in this direction. In this sense, the interpretative twist (based on the idea of lateral thinking) given to the dynamic of the system is unique and promising.
