Abstract: An aerial vehicle is programmed or configured to respond to reports of events or conditions within spaces of a facility. The aerial vehicle travels to a location of a reported event or condition and captures data using onboard sensors. The aerial vehicle independently determines whether the reported event or condition is occurring, or is otherwise properly addressed by resources that are available at the location, using images or other data captured by the onboard sensors. Alternatively, the aerial vehicle transmits a request for additional resources to be provided at the location, where necessary. A map of the location generated based on images or other data captured by the onboard sensors may be utilized for any purpose, such as to make one or more recommendations of products that are appropriate for use at the facility.

Abstract: A method and system of calculating and executing an optimized avoidance maneuver to be performed by a rotorcraft in the presence of oncoming air traffic. The method features the steps of: (a) acquiring information about a threat aircraft; (b) calculating the avoidance maneuver; and (c) executing the avoidance maneuver by the rotorcraft. The avoidance maneuver is performed to yield right of way to the oncoming threat aircraft as quickly and safely as possible.

Abstract: The technical description relates to perimeters for vehicles. Specific examples relate to vehicle perimeters established by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), such as autonomous drones, for a variety of vehicle types, including manually-driven, partially autonomous, and fully autonomous vehicles. Perimeter devices, vehicles, including autonomous vehicles and human-controlled vehicles, UAVs, and related systems and methods are described. Perimeter devices respond to triggering events, such as vehicle-immobilizing events, GPS-based events, and environment-based events, to establish a perimeter adjacent a vehicle such that observers can visually detect the presence of a signal member, such as a warning triangle having a reflective surface. An example vehicle includes a tractor unit, a trailer connected to the tractor unit, a storage enclosure associated with the tractor unit, and a plurality of perimeter devices disposed in the chamber. Each perimeter device of the plurality of perimeter devices includes a triangular signal member, a base member, and a UAV. Each perimeter device is adapted to deploy from the chamber and establish a perimeter by the vehicle in response to a triggering event, such as parking of the vehicle in a location for which a perimeter must be established, impact of the vehicle with another object, such as during a traffic accident, rollover of the vehicle, or mechanical and/or electrical failure of the vehicle.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or “drone” executes a neural network to assist with inspection, surveillance, reporting, and other missions. The drone inspection neural network may monitor, in real time, the data stream from a plurality of onboard sensors during navigation to an asset along a preprogrammed flight path and/or during its mission (e.g., as it scans and. inspects an asset). A HAPS platform may execute a neural network (a “HAPSNN”) as it monitors air traffic; the neural network enables it to classify, predict, and. resolve events in its airspace of coverage in real time as well as learn from new events that have never before been seen or detected. The HAPSNN-equipped HAPS platform may provide surveillance of nearly 100% of air traffic in its airspace of coverage, and the HAPSNN may process data received from a drone to facilitate safe and efficient drone operation within an airspace.

Abstract: A robot includes an image sensor that captures the environment of a storage site. The robot visually recognizes regularly shaped structures to navigate through the storage site using various object detection and image segmentation techniques. In response to receiving a target location in the storage site, the robot moves to the target location along a path. The robot receives the images as the robot moves along the path. The robot analyzes the images captured by the image sensor to determine the current location of the robot in the path by tracking a number of regularly shaped structures in the storage site passed by the robot. The regularly shaped structures may be racks, horizontal bars of the racks, and vertical bars of the racks. The robot can identify the target location by counting the number of rows and columns that the robot has passed.

Abstract: An airship comprising an envelope having a shape, a volume, and a frontal area. A lifting gas within the envelope. A propulsion system. A volume change mechanism arranged to change the shape of the envelope, wherein the change in shape of the envelope changes the volume of the envelope, the change in volume of the envelope causes a change in the buoyancy of the airship, and the change in shape of the envelope causes the frontal area of the envelope to change proportionally to the change in volume of the envelope.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to skid and roll along an environmental surface. A reliable UAV includes an airframe assembly, a propulsion system, and a logic device configured to communicate with the propulsion system. The airframe assembly includes a cylindrical rolling guard configured to allow the UAV to roll along an environmental surface in contact with the cylindrical rolling guard. The logic device is configured to determine a rolling orientation for the UAV corresponding to the environmental surface, maneuver the UAV to place the cylindrical rolling guard of the airframe assembly in contact with the environmental surface, and roll the airframe assembly of the UAV along the environmental surface at approximately the determined rolling orientation while the cylindrical rolling guard is in contact with the environmental surface.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating testing and training cases for a simulator based on simulated events are disclosed. The system can monitor an input from a first simulation of a first test case, and detect, based on the input from the first simulation, a target condition resulting from the first test case. The system can identify, based on the target condition, first simulation parameters of the first test case associated with the target condition. The system can generate a second test case having second simulation parameters by modifying the first simulation parameters of the first test case, and output the second test case to a flight autonomy system. The system can provide the generated test cases for the flight autonomy system and can monitor the real-time performance of the simulation of the flight autonomy system.
