Virtual force system for a drone

A computer-implemented method for receiving and responding to virtual forces enacted on a drone, comprising:

• receiving, at a first drone, a second virtual object location, wherein the second virtual object location comprises an indication of a spatial location of a second virtual object;
• determining that a location of the first drone is a threshold distance from the second virtual object location;
• determining a first drone operating characteristic associated with the first drone;
• identifying a second virtual object operating characteristic associated with the second virtual object;
• calculating a virtual impact strength and virtual impact direction exerted on the first drone based upon the first drone operating characteristic and the second virtual object operating characteristic;
• and
• communicating one or more control signals to motors of the first drone to integrate the virtual impact strength and virtual impact direction into a movement of the first drone.
