Methods and systems for cooperative operation and configuration of aerially-mobile devices

A system comprising:

• a plurality of aerially-mobile devices each configured to (i) perform a respective end-use function from a plurality of end-use functions comprising at least a first and a second end-use functions, and (ii) carry out a portion of a reconfiguration operation, wherein the reconfiguration operation includes arranging the plurality of aerially-mobile devices according to a device configuration, wherein the device configuration specifies a plurality of spatial locations within an home environment and a functionality to be provided via an aerially-mobile device landed at each of the spatial locations in the home environment, wherein the first and second end-use functions correspond to a first and a second of the spatial locations;
• and
• a control system comprising a processor and a data storage, the data storage containing instructions comprising:
• assigning, for at least a first and a second of the aerially-mobile devices, a respective spatial location associated with the device configuration, wherein the first and second aerially mobile devices are assigned to a first and a second spatial location in the home environment, respectively;
• and
• causing the first and second aerial vehicles to fly to and land at the first and second spatial locations in the home environment, respectively, such that the first and the second aerially-mobile devices are arranged to provide the first and second end-use functions while landed at the first and second spatial locations, respectively.
