Abstract: A system for testing a radio transmitter includes multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The multiple UAVs are deployed in the environment surrounding the radio transmitter, enabling simultaneous measurement of the signal emitted by the radio transmitter at multiple points in a variety of configurations. In some implementations, one of the UAVs can be configured as a control unit that facilitates communication between the radio transmitter and the remaining UAVs. In this manner, measurements can be transmitted from the UAVs to the transmitter in real-time. These measurements can then be used as feedback to quickly adjust the radio transmission or reception or to update the flight pattern of the UAVs.

Abstract: A mission system for autonomous vehicle (AV) team coordination and a method of using the same are disclosed. A controller included on an AV shares mission data between two or more AVs, and in response to communication denial, generates estimated navigation trajectories for teammate AVs. A simulation outputs estimated navigation states for the teammate AVs. The estimated navigation states are identical or substantially identical to navigation states otherwise generated by controllers included on the teammate AVs. The estimated navigation trajectories are generated based on the estimated navigation states.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle according to the present disclosure is an unmanned aerial vehicle that can fly in midair and includes a propulsion unit configured to generate a propulsion force for fly in midair, a laser light source configured to illuminate laser light, an imaging unit configured to generate a captured image by capturing vertically below the unmanned aerial vehicle during flight in midair, and a controller configured to control an operation of the propulsion unit. The controller analyzes a captured image, extracts a light spot formed by laser light, measures a positional relationship with another unmanned aerial vehicle based on the extracted light spot, and executes a collision avoidance operation with respect to another unmanned aerial vehicle based on the measured positional relationship.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a fog drone that selects, organizes, monitors, and controls a plurality of drones in a fleet. The fog drone receives a job to be completed from a dispatcher and identifies the resources for accomplishing the job such as the amount of material (e.g., fiber optic cable) or the type of drones (e.g., drones with RF antennas or digging implements) needed to execute the job. Using the identified resources, the fog drone estimates the number of drones needed to complete the job and can recruit available drones to form the fleet. Once the fleet is formed, the fog drone determines a number of drones to place on standby to replace active drones if those drones need to recharge or malfunction.
