Abstract:
Flight based infrared imaging systems and related techniques, and in particular UAS based thermal imaging systems, are provided to improve the monitoring capabilities of such systems over conventional infrared monitoring systems. An infrared imaging system is configured to compensate for various environmental effects (e.g., position and/or strength of the sun, atmospheric effects) to provide high resolution and accuracy radiometric measurements of targets imaged by the infrared imaging system. An infrared imaging system is alternatively configured to monitor and determine environmental conditions, modify data received from infrared imaging systems and other systems, modify flight paths and other commands, and/or create a representation of the environment.
Abstract:
The present application relates to a gimbal configured to mount a photographing device. The gimbal includes a main body, a mounting shaft connected to the main body and a base disposed on the mounting shaft. The base is configured to fasten the photographing device. The gimbal further includes a fixing plate disposed on the base and a circuit board mounted between the fixing plate and the base. The circuit board is provided with a USB input interface and a USB output interface. The USB input interface is configured to form a data transmission connection to the photographing device. The USB output interface is configured to be connected to an external storage device. The present application further relates to an image photographing apparatus including the foregoing gimbal and an unmanned aerial vehicle including the foregoing image photographing apparatus. In the present application, data in the photographing device on the gimbal may be directly accessed by using a USB data line. A trouble of repeatedly dismounting and mounting the photographing device can be avoided. Friction losses of related structures of the photographing device and the gimbal are avoided, thereby prolonging service lives of the components.
Abstract:
A process for controlling a plurality of mobile-radio equipped robots in a talkgroup includes receiving, at a mobile-radio equipped robot via a wireless communications interface comprising one of an infrastructure wireless communication interface for communicating with an infrastructure radio access network (RAN) and an ad-hoc wireless communication interface for communicating with an ad-hoc network, a group voice call containing a voice-command. The mobile-radio equipped robot determines that it is a target of the group voice call, and responsively text-converts the voice-command into an actionable text-based command. The mobile-radio equipped robot subsequently operates a mechanical drive element in accordance with the actionable text-based command.

Abstract:
One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for selectively collecting vehicle telemetry data from one or more vehicles. For example, a communication data budget for a vehicle may be identified (e.g., a 5 GB per month data connection plan). A determination may be made as to whether the vehicle can provide vehicle telemetry data used to model a travel condition (e.g., road imagery, temperature, a windshield wiper state, and/or other vehicle telemetry data used to model a road safety condition). If the vehicle has remaining communication data budget available for transmission of the vehicle telemetry data without the vehicle exceeding the communication data budget for a billing cycle, then a data request for the vehicle telemetry data may be sent to the vehicle. Responsive to receiving the vehicle telemetry data from the vehicle, the travel condition may be modeled (e.g., the road condition may be determined as icy).
Abstract:
Remote sensing systems and methods for using the same are disclosed. The remote sensing systems may include mirrors coupled to propulsion portions of a vehicle with which the remote sensing systems are integrated. The remote sensing systems may further include light transmitters and light receivers coupled to fixed portions of the vehicle.
Abstract:
Vehicles feature various forms of automated driving control, such as speed control and braking distance monitoring. However, the parameters of automated control may conflict with the user driving behaviors of the user; e.g., braking distance maintained with respect to a leading vehicle may seem overcautious to users who prefer shorter braking distances, and unsafe to users who prefer longer braking distances. Presented herein are techniques for controlling vehicles according to the user driving behaviors of users. While a user operates a vehicle in a driving context, a device monitors various driving features (e.g., acceleration or braking) to determine various user driving behaviors. When requested to control a driving feature of the vehicle, a controller may identify the user driving behaviors of the user in the driving context, and control the driving features according to the user driving behaviors, thus personalizing automated driving to the preferences of the user.
