Abstract: ABSTRACT: Autonomous Swarm UAV System with Biometric Tracking and Ethical Privacy Controls This invention describes a swarm-configured unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) ecosystem integrating biometric and bio-motion signal fusion, artificial intelligence–driven conditional role switching, autonomous energy-harvesting, real-time privacy preservation, and modular sensor reconfiguration. The system employs gait recognition, thermal imaging, and micro-Doppler respiratory sensing to achieve robust human identification under adverse visibility or obstructed conditions. A distributed swarm architecture enables dynamic role differentiation, including mapping, tracking, communication relay, and hazard detection, with tasks reassigned autonomously based on mission urgency, energy capacity, and environmental conditions. Energy autonomy is achieved through photovoltaic nanofilms, vibration-based harvesters, and opportunistic near-field wireless charging, thereby sustaining extended operational deployment. Integrated privacy-preservation engines anonymize or obfuscate non-target individuals in real time, ensuring compliance with regulatory and ethical standards. The invention finds application in disaster recovery, military stealth operations, and ethical surveillance, providing a scalable, resilient, and regulatory-compliant UAV ecosystem surpassing the limitations of conventional vision-based drones.
