“我们很快就会被无人机包围。美国联邦航空局（FAA）预测，到2020年，美国将有3万架无人机。工程师们正忙着准备这项技术。他们正在开发不需要任何监督就能飞行的系统。不幸的是，无人机无法理解它们对地面上的人造成的影响。他们吵吵闹闹，不可预测，可能会很可怕。当无人驾驶飞机对人做出反应时，要避免撞击已经太晚了。有必要让无人机引起人们的注意并尊重公民。无人机应该了解它们对人口的影响，并制定相应的计划。Flock是一个ProSocial动态城市无人机飞行规划软件。由市民的位置数据提供动力，能够理解和定义每个飞行路径将产生的干扰。通过这种方式，可以计划飞行以减少其影响，甚至在无人机开始飞行之前就改变它们。在信息时代，我们应该充分利用我们产生的数据，并利用它为所有人创造一个更愉快的环境，无论是人类还是机器。这就是羊群所做的。建造未来的基础设施，让人类与无人机共存。”

"We will soon be surrounded by drones. The FAA (The Federal Aviation Agency of the US) forecasts that there will be 30000 drones in the american sky by 2020.Engineers are rushing to have the technology ready. They are developing systems that will be able to fly without any need of supervision.Unfortunately, drones are not able to understand the impact they can have on the people on the ground. They are noisy, unpredictable and could be scary. By the time an autonomous drone reacts to a person is too late avoid the impact.There is a need to make drones notice and respect citizens. Drones should understand the impact they have on the population, and plan accordingly.Flock is a ProSocial dynamic urban flight planner for drones. Powered by the citizens location data, is able to understand and define the disruption each flight path will have. This way, flights can be planned to reduce their impact, and change them even before the drone started flying.n the era of information we should get advantage of the data we are generating, and use it to create a more pleasant environment for all, humans and machines. That’s what flock does. Building the future infrastructure for humans to coexist with drones. "
