Abstract:
Various systems and methods for personal sensory drones are described herein. A personal sensory drone system includes a drone remote control system comprising: a task module to transmit a task to a drone swarm for the drone swarm to execute, the drone swarm including at least two drones; a transceiver to receive information from the drone swarm related to the task; and a user interface module to present a user interface based on the information received from the drone swarm.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus to cooperatively lift a payload (110) are disclosed. An example method to control a lift vehicle (102) includes determining (704) a first positional state of the lift vehicle (102) with respect to a payload (110) controlled by a plurality of lift vehicles (102, 104, ...) including the lift vehicle (102), determining (706) a second positional state of the lift vehicle (102) with respect to a goal location, detecting distances (708) to the other ones of the plurality of lift vehicles (102, 104, ...), determining (710) a third positional state of the lift vehicle (102) based on the distances to the other ones of the plurality of lift vehicles (102, 104, ...), and calculating (712-720) a control command to control the lift vehicle (102) based on the first positional state, the second positional state, and the third positional state.
Abstract:
This invention relates to an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle hereinafter called “Mother UAV” member (11) capable of carrying modules of Sub Unmanned Aerial Vehicle members (12) hereinafter called “Sub UAV” member. More particularly, the method and system that is capable of communicating via satellite and remote control technology wherein ejecting said Sub UAV members (12) from the Mother UAV member (11) wherein Sub UAV members (12) autonomously fly in sequence in a coordinated manner with the Mother UAV member (11), and capable of engaging in multiple missions in high, medium, low altitude, and surface, also communication with under sea submarines (27). Further, comprises of a method and system that the Sub UAV members (12) are able to return back to the Mother UAV member (11) after the mission is completed and be firmly secured to the flatbed (14) of the Mother UAV member (11). The present invention is specifically designed for multifunctional and multipurpose applications where humans and other vehicles are unable to access, for civil, commercial and military purposes.
Abstract:
Systems and/or methods for forming a multiple-articulated flying system (skybase) having a high aspect ratio wing platform, operable to loiter over an area of interest at a high altitude are provided. In certain exemplary embodiments, autonomous modular flyers join together in a wingtip-to-wingtip manner. Such modular flyers may derive their power from insolation. The autonomous flyers may include sensors which operate individually, or collectively after a skybase is formed. The skybase preferably may be aggregated, disaggregated, and/or re-aggregated as called for by the prevailing conditions. Thus, it may be possible to provide a “forever-on-station” aircraft.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system and a method to guide and manage vehicles. These operations in total or partial absence of human intervention. The system developed through mobile radio systems appropriately specialized that oversee the operations with some appropriate control and safety features.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for UAV safety are provided. An authentication system may be used to confirm UAV and/or user identity and provide secured communications between users and UAVs. The UAVs may operate in accordance with a set of flight regulations. The set of flight regulations may be associated with a geo-fencing device in the vicinity of the UAV.
