As one of promising distributed multi-robot system, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can collaborate to offload complex tasks in edge networks. A Smart and Trust Multi-UAV Task Offloading (STMTO) system is established to offload tasks from Internet of Thing (IoT) devices to edge severs through UAVs with a trust style. In STMTO system, first, a group of UAVs is dispatched to relay tasks from devices to edge servers with rich computing resource. A collaborative task collection scheme is proposed to minimize energy consumption and the task processing delay by dividing working area for each UAV and designing the flight trajectory. Secondly, a many-to-many task double auction model is established for devices and edge servers to maximize the offloading utility, where devices act as buyers, edge servers as sellers, and UAVs as auctioneers. Last, to resist attack of malicious edge servers and ensure the task security, a novel trust evaluation method based on the comparison of true utility and expected utility is integrated in auction mechanism. The theoretical analysis and implementation results show that the proposed STMTO system not only achieve the best utility for devices and edge servers simultaneously, but also identify the malicious edge servers and protect task from attacks.
