Abstract: Techniques for traversing in an environment that includes at least one obstacle, by a mobile autonomous system, to a destination in the environment, are presented. The techniques can include generating, prior to the mobile autonomous system commencing activity in the environment, a graph including a plurality of vertices representing positions in the environment and a plurality of edges between vertices representing feasible transitions by the mobile autonomous vehicle in the environment; annotating the graph with at least one edge connecting a representation of a present position of the mobile autonomous system to a vertex of the graph; determining, based on the graph, a path from the present position of the mobile autonomous system in the environment to the destination; and traversing the environment to the destination, by the mobile autonomous system, based on the path.

Abstract: A method is provided for supporting an aircraft to execute a mission in which the aircraft maneuvers in an airspace system. The method includes detecting a lost-link event in which a datalink between the aircraft and a control station is interrupted or lost, and responsive to which the aircraft is preconfigured to execute a procedure. The method also includes conveying an intent of the aircraft to execute the procedure over a radio channel assigned for voice communication in the airspace system. In this regard, conveying the intent includes composing a message that indicates the intent of the aircraft to execute the procedure. The message is applied to a text-to-speech engine to convert the message to a corresponding verbal message in which the intent of the aircraft is conveyed. The corresponding verbal message is then sent over the radio channel assigned for voice communication in the airspace system.

Abstract: Provided is an unmanned aircraft that is used to quickly and accurately specify a target location and operate a specific mechanism having a predetermined function at the target location. An unmanned aircraft 100 refers to a target location marker pattern 120d3 representing an appearance of a target location marker 161 disposed to have a predetermined relative position relationship with the target location, detects an image portion corresponding to the target location marker 161 from an image obtained by a camera 106 that obtains the image below the unmanned aircraft 100, and is guided directly above the target location, based on the image portion, where the specific mechanism is operated.

Abstract: A remote control adapted to modify an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)'s autonomous flight of a predetermined trajectory is provided. The remote control includes at least one moveable control member for adjusting a set point of an adjustable control parameter of the UAV. Further, the remote control includes at least one actuator capable of controllably applying a torque to the at least one control member. The remote control additionally includes a processing circuit configured to determine a set point of torque to be applied to the at least one control member based on a reference set point of the control parameter. The reference set point of the control parameter is related to the predetermined trajectory. The processing circuit is further configured to control the at least one actuator to apply the determined set point of torque to the at least one control member.

Abstract: A guidance device 120 is provided with a processing device 124 that generates a control signal to control a propulsion device 110 of a flying object 100 and a communication device 121 that transmits the control signal to the propulsion device 110. The processing device 124 generates a patrol control signal to control the propulsion device 110 so that the flying object 100 flies along a first patrol path and generates, based on information of a moving object that the flying object 100 is to intercept, an interception control signal to control the propulsion device 110 so that the flying object 100 flies toward the moving object. In addition, the processing device 124 generates, when generating the interception control signal, a notification signal to notify that the flying object 100 flies toward the moving object.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for autonomous vehicle operation for collision avoidance. One method involves identifying an autonomous operating mode and one or more settings associated with the autonomous operating mode prior to entering an autonomous collision avoidance mode in response to an output from a collision avoidance system, and after entering the autonomous collision avoidance mode, automatically restoring autonomous operation upon deactivation of the autonomous collision avoidance mode. For example, the autonomous operating mode may be automatically reinitiated based on the current vehicle status using the one or more settings in response to deactivation of the autonomous collision avoidance mode when it is determined that the autonomous operating mode is viable based on a relationship between a current vehicle status and the one or more settings associated with the autonomous operating mode.
