    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to non-planar frame structure of a multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Aspects of the present disclosure provide frame structure of a UAV that includes at least two rods 102-1 and 102-2, and one or more center supporting plates 106 holding the at least two rods 102-1 and 102-2 to form a rigid structure, wherein the at least two rods 102-1 and 102-2 are overlapped to form a crossed structure wherein ends of the at least two rods 102-1 and 102-2 construe a polygon, and wherein a plurality of propellers 204 are operatively coupled at the ends of the at least two rods to enable flight of the UAV. The frame structure includes at least four overlapping arms 104-1, 104-2, 104-3 and 104-2, at least two of which are present in different planes and thus, the present disclosure provides a non-planar frame structure of a multi-rotor UAV.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method for executing safe-return of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) moving along a path having a plurality of communication waypoints in the event of a communication failure. In an aspect, the proposed method can include the steps of detecting, at the UAV, a communication failure; enabling the UAV to return to last healthy communication waypoint location; and based on status of the communication failure, enabling the UAV to return to its home location.
