System Name: VANTAGE.
Core Function: Coordinated task collaboration.
Target Industry: Solar farm maintenance.
Primary Goal: Flawless, automated execution.
System Type: Multi-agent cyber-physical network.
The Drone: Acts as the "eye in the sky," providing high-altitude thermal or visual aerial surveillance.
The Central Server: Serves as the system brain, processing real-time aerial data and routing coordinates.
The Rover: Executes ground-level operations, navigating directly to targeted panels for cleaning and repair.
The Operator UI: Provides the human-in-the-loop interface for real-time mission oversight and manual override.
Step 1: Aerial Scanning: Drone captures hawk-eye telemetry of the solar array.
Step 2: Data Routing: Central server processes the live feed and identifies anomalies.
Step 3: Ground Execution: Rover receives target data and deploys to the specific panel.
Step 4: Human Oversight: Mission operator monitors the live loop to intervene if necessary.
