Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Antrieb von schwebenden Geräten und schwebenden Teilsystemen von Geräten in der Land- und Forstwirtschaft mit der konstruktionsbedingten Fähigkeit zum Schweben auf der Stelle, insbesondere auch zur Ausbringung von Stoffen und Stoffgemischen, mit einem oder mehreren Strömungserzeugern zur Erzeugung von Luftströmungen oder Strömungen anderer Gase oder Gasgemische, die das Gerät oder Teilsystem des Gerätes vorrangig durch den erzeugten Vertikalschub im Schweben halten und Kräfte zum Vortrieb und/ oder zur Änderung der Bewegung erzeugen. Erfindungsgemäß werden Strömungen oder Teilströmungen mit einer Neigung der Mittelachse der jeweiligen Strömung oder Teilströmung von mindestens 10° und maximal 90° gegenüber der Normalen auf die horizontale Ebene des Gerätes oder Teilsystems erzeugt, wobei wechselnde Strömungsgeschwindigkeit und/oder Strömungsrichtung der Strömungen und/oder Teilströmungen Schub erzeugt wird, der zumindest eine Komponente in der horizontalen Ebene des Gerätes oder Teilsystems hat und zum Vortrieb und/oder der Änderung der Geschwindigkeit des Geräts oder Teilsystems und/oder Kompensation von Störungen in dieser Ebene, bei Beibehaltung oder der Möglichkeit zur Beibehaltung einer horizontalen oder konstant geneigten Lage des schwebenden Gerätes oder Teilsystems, genutzt wird.

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: An aerial reconnaissance drone having a dragonfly format (elongate fuselage and flapping wings) with two cameras 4', 4" having respective diagonal fields of view 5', 5", arranged at respective ends of the fuselage, both pointing forwards, wherein the second camera has a diagonal field 5" of view that is at most half that 5' of the first camera 4'. This has the advantage of providing a drone that can capture enhanced imagery when required, by performing a half turn and switching which camera is being used. Since this avoids placing two cameras in the same location both can have a clear view of surroundings yet it helps avoid off balance caused by placing too much mass in any particular off-centre location.

Abstract: A method for calibrating a target gas sensor inside a drone comprises receiving air flow at the target sensor due to least one of diverted propeller air flow or diverted air flow caused by drone flight, measuring a concentration of the target gas, receiving equivalent air flow at a sensor of at least one reference gas having known atmospheric concentration positioned in or on the drone, measuring a concentration of the at least one reference gas, and calibrating the measured concentration of the target gas based on the measured concentration of the at least one reference gas.

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: In some examples, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) employs one or more image sensors to capture images of a scan target and may use distance information from the images for determining respective locations in three-dimensional (3D) space of a plurality of points of a 3D model representative of a surface of the scan target. The UAV may compare a first image with a second image to determine a difference between a current frame of reference position for the UAV and an estimate of an actual frame of reference position for the UAV. Further, based at least on the difference, the UAV may determine, while the UAV is in flight, an update to the 3D model including at least one of an updated location of at least one point in the 3D model, or a location of a new point in the 3D model.
