Drones have drawn considerable attention as the agents in wireless data collection for agricultural applications, by virtue of their three-dimensional mobility and dominant line-of-sight communication channels. Existing works mainly exploit dedicated drones via deployment and maintenance, which is insufficient regarding resource and cost-efficiency. In contrast, leveraging existing delivery drones for the data collection on their way of delivery, called delivery drones’ piggybacking, is a promising solution. For achieving such cost-efficiency, drone scheduling inevitably stands in front, but the delivery missions involved have escalated it to a wholly different and unexplored problem. As an attempt, we first survey 514 delivery workers and conduct field experiments; noticeably, the collection cost, which mostly comes from the energy consumption of drones’ piggybacking, is determined by the decisions on package-route scheduling and data collection time distribution. Based on such findings, we build a new model that jointly optimizes these two decisions to maximize data collection amount, subject to the collection budget and delivery constraints. Further model analysis finds it a Mixed Integer Non-Linear Programming problem, which is NP-hard. The major challenge stems from interdependence entangling the two decisions. For this point, we propose Delta, a \(\frac{1}{9+\delta }\)-approximation delivery drone scheduling algorithm. The key idea is to devise an approximate collection time distribution scheme leveraging energy slicing, which transforms the complex problem with two interdependent variables into a submodular function maximization problem only with one variable. The theoretical proofs and extensive evaluations verify the effectiveness and the near-optimal performance of Delta.

Internal models are nowadays customarily used in different domains of science and engineering to describe how living organisms or artificial computational units embed their acquired knowledge about recurring events taking place in the surrounding environment. This article reviews the internal model principle in control theory, bioengineering, and neuroscience, illustrating the fundamental concepts and theoretical developments of the few last decades of research.
