| Abstract | The dragonfly adult has been extensively studied as a model insect for the design of robots and more recently MAV (Micro-Aerial Vehicle). In particular, its flight and vision-guided navigation mechanisms have been widely adopted in the design of MAV and robots. The wings of dragonfly have been investigated to develop new generation of nanocomposite MEMS materials. In this article, we are interested in some other behaviors of dragonfly, which can be inspirational for flight and communication control of a fleet (population) of UAV/MAVs. Specifically, the territory behaviors and mating systems of dragonflies are able to automatically control the accesses to limited number of female dragonflies by male dragonflies. We suggest that this kind of mechanisms used by dragonflies may be used for engineering applications such as optimal deployment of UAV/MAV or robots in unpredictable or hostile environments. Similarly, they may be inspirational for solving problems such as the optimal coverage of wireless sensor networks (WSN) or channel time-sharing in wireless communications. Due to the population nature (a population of dragonflies vs. a fleet of UAV/MAV) of the dragonfly-behavior-inspired applications, mathematical modeling tools such as Evolutionary Game theory and Rendezvous Search Game theory are suggested to transfer biological inspirations to engineering designs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
