Abstract: The disclosure is directed in part to a thrust vectoring algorithm and/or thrust vectoring controller configured to allow for control of an aircraft with a plurality of tilting rotors. Thrust vectoring is a method of controlling the aircraft by pointing the motors in the direction you need thrust, as opposed to traditional methods of flight control surfaces which deflect airflow or tilting the entire body of the aircraft. The disclosed thrust vectoring algorithm and/or thrust vectoring controller allow for the control of VTOL aircraft with a plurality of tilting rotors.

Abstract: Sensing and charging of electronic devices using coils. A software-defined collaborative sensing approach can allow detection and location of multiple electronic devices with respect to a charging surface to allow for wireless charging thereof. Systems and methods can measure the interaction of devices with a generated magnetic field through a network of nested sensing coils that can sense the location of devices located around the network of coils based on their interaction with magnetic fields. Once the location of a device to be charged is determined, charging energy can be directed to the device based on its location on the charging surface. The charging surface can include one or more sensing nodes having a combination of nested active, or driven, and passive coils. These coils can be configured to transform existing two-dimensional (2D) surfaces or three-dimensional (3D) areas into a multi -device contactless wireless charger.

Abstract: An aerial navigation system comprises four anchor points mounted on top of four upright members respectively at substantially same height from a ground, a carrier device coupled to a first set of four electric motors mounted at the four anchor points through a set of first wires. The set of first wires, the four upright members and the ground effectively define a volume. The carrier device is moveable in a bounded horizontal plane defined by the four anchor points. A robotic device is suspended from the carrier device using a second wire and moves vertically relative to the carrier device through activation of a fifth electric motor. A control unit is coupled to the first set of four electric motors and the fifth electric motor for controlling the three-dimensional movement of the robotic device to permit navigation from a current location to a target location inside the defined volume.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or "drone" executes a neural network to assist with detecting and responding to attacks. The neural network may monitor, in real time, the data stream from a plurality of onboard sensors during navigation and may communicate with a high-altitude pseudosatellite ("HAPS") platform. For example, if the neural network detects a cyber-attack but determines that it does not interfere with external communications, it may shift navigation control of the drone to the HAPS.

Abstract: An aerial navigation system comprises upright members mounted with anchor points at a substantially same height. Each anchor point is provided with an electric motor. A carrier device is coupled to the electric motors at coresponding ones of the anchor points using a set of first wires. The carrier device is operably moved by the electric motors in a horizontal plane co-planar with the anchor points. Further, a robotic device is suspended from the carrier device using a second wire. The robotic device is moveable within a volume defined between a ground surface, the plurality of upright members and the horizontal plane by at least one other electric motor mounted on the carrier device. Furthermore, a navigation control system synchronises operations of electric motors at the anchor points and the carrier device for moving the robotic device from a current location to a target location within the volume.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle according to certain embodiments generally includes a chassis, a power supply mounted to the chassis, a control system operable to receive power from the power supply, at least one rotor operable to generate lift under control of the control system, and a winch mounted to the chassis. The winch includes a reel and a motor. The reel has a line wound thereon, the line having a free end. The reel includes a circumferential channel in which a wound portion of the line is wound onto the reel. The circumferential channel includes an inner portion, an outer portion, and a passage connecting the inner portion and the outer portion. The motor is operable to rotate the reel under control of the control system to thereby cause the line to wind onto and off of the reel, thereby causing the free end of the line to raise and lower.
