Abstract: A device receives a request for a flight path from a first location to a second location in a region, and calculates the flight path based on the request and based on one or more of weather information, air traffic information, obstacle information, regulatory information, or historical information associated with the region. The device determines required capabilities for the flight path based on the request, and selects, from multiple UAVs, a particular UAV based on the required capabilities for the flight path and based on a ranking of the multiple UAVs. The device generates flight path instructions for the flight path, and provides the flight path instructions to the particular UAV to permit the particular UAV to travel from the first location to the second location via the flight path.

Abstract: FIG. 1 shows airframe 10 with electromagnetic field sensor 12, adjustable reference electromagnetic field strength 14, comparator 16, parachute 18, parachute trigger 19, and inspection camera 20 inspecting a transmission line corridor containing towers 40, 42, and 44, phase conductors 46, 48, and 50, and shield wires 52 and 54. Reference electromagnetic field strength 14 is adjusted before the flight to set the minimum electromagnetic field strength before parachute trigger 19 deploys parachute 18. The reference electromagnetic field strength 14 corresponds to a radius, and thus virtual tunnel 22, outside of which airframe 10 cannot fly without deploying parachute 18, regardless of the state of the autopilot, GPS signal, or radio link.

Abstract: A micro unmanned aerial vehicle or drone (“UAV”) 10 is remotely controlled through an HMI, although this remote control is supplemented by and selectively suppressed by an on-board controller. The controller operates to control the generation of a sonar bubble that generally encapsulates the UAV. The sonar bubble, which may be ultrasonic in nature, is produced by a multiplicity of sonar lobes generated by specific sonar emitters associated with each axis of movement for the UAV. The emitters produce individual and beamformed sonar lobes that partially overlap to provide stereo or bioptic data in the form of individual echo responses detected by axis-specific sonar detectors. In this way, the on-board controller is able to interpret and then generate 3-D spatial imaging of the physical environment in which the UAV is currently moving or positioned. The controller is therefore able to plot relative and absolute movement of the UAV through the 3-D space by recording measurements from on-board gyroscopes, magnetometers and accelerometers. Data from the sonar bubble can therefore both proactively prevent collisions with objects by imposing a corrective instruction to rotors and other flight control system and can also assess and compensate for sensor drift.
Abstract translation: 微型无人驾驶飞行器或无人驾驶飞机(“UAV”)10通过HMI进行远程控制,尽管该遥控器由车载控制器补充并选择性地抑制。 控制器用于控制通常封装无人机的声纳气泡的产生。 本质上可能是超声波的声纳气泡由与用于UAV的每个运动轴相关联的特定声纳发射器产生的多个声纳波瓣产生。 发射器产生单个和波束形成的声纳波瓣,其部分重叠以提供以轴特定声纳探测器检测的单独回波响应形式的立体声或生物数据。 以这种方式,车载控制器能够解释然后生成UAV当前正在移动或定位的物理环境的三维空间成像。 因此,控制器能够通过记录来自车载陀螺仪,磁力计和加速度计的测量值来绘制UAV通过3-D空间的相对和绝对运动。 因此,来自声纳气泡的数据可以通过对转子和其他飞行控制系统施加纠正指令来主动防止与物体的碰撞,并且还可以评估和补偿传感器漂移。
