Abstract: Various embodiments include methods for managing antennas on an aerial robotic vehicle used for wireless communications. A processor may receive position information identifying a location of the aerial robotic vehicle, determine whether to switch from using a first antenna to using a second antenna for active communications of the aerial robotic vehicle based on the position information, and switch active communications from using the first antenna to using the second antenna in response to determining that active communications of the aerial robotic vehicle should switch from using the first antenna to using the second antenna. The processor may make the determination using information from a database, which may correlate aerial robotic vehicle position to whether to use a particular one of the first and second antennas for active communications. The determination may also be based on a comparison of signal qualities obtained by both antennas.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a controller instructs an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) docked to a landing perch to perform a pre-flight test operation of a pre-flight test routine. The controller receives sensor data associated with the pre-flight test operation from one or more force sensors of the landing perch, in response to the UAV performing the pre-flight test operation. The controller determines whether the sensor data associated with the pre-flight test operation is within an acceptable range. The controller causes the UAV to launch from the landing perch based in part on a determination that UAV has passed the pre-flight test routine.

Abstract: A system for using ultrasound to detect distance on mobile platform and methods for making and using same. The system includes an ultrasound transceiver that can transmit and/or receive ultrasound waves and determine distance from an object of interest using a time-of-flight of the ultrasound wave. The system is adapted to reduce noise by using a dynamic model of the mobile platform to set constraints on the possible location of a received ultrasound echo. A linear, constant-speed dynamic model can be used to set constraints. The system can further reduce noise by packetizing a received ultrasound waveform and filtering out noise according to height and width of the packets. The system likewise can remove dead zones in the ultrasound transceiver by subtracting an aftershock waveform from the received waveform. The systems and methods are suitable for ultrasound distance detection on any type of mobile platform, including unmanned aerial vehicles.
