Abstract: A method for navigating an airborne device relative to a target comprises detecting, at an optical detector on the airborne device, an optical signal generated by one or more LEDs on the target. The method also comprises comparing, by a processor on the airborne device, the detected optical signal with a previously-detected optical signal. The method further comprises determining, by the processor based on the comparison, a change in location of at least one of the airborne device or the target. The method also comprises adjusting a position of the airborne device based on the determined change in location. The method also comprises predicting, by the processor, a movement of the target based on information indicative of at least one of a position, a rotation, an orientation, an acceleration, a velocity, or an altitude of the target, wherein the position of the airborne device is adjusted based on the predicted movement of the target. The method also comprises detecting an obstacle in a flight path associated with the airborne device and adjusting a position of the airborne device is further based, at least in part, on detected obstacle information.

Abstract: A system for collision avoidance includes memory storing instructions which, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform determining a direction of flight of a first drone, causing broadcasting, in the direction of flight based, a beamformed signal of beacon frames, determining a new flight direction of the same first drone, in response to the new flight direction, causing broadcasting of the beacon frames in the new flight direction, detecting second beacon frames from a second drone associated with a direction from which the second beacon frames are arriving; in response, causing the first drone to perform, without input from a pilot, one or more of a change in elevation, heading, speed, or type of operation, directed toward causing the first drone to follow a flight path that is separated from the second drone.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) dual operation system and method is described. Certain embodiments include a dual operation system that receives and processes control signals from two controllers, e.g., a first controller and a second controller, and outputs a control signal to a UAV on-board pilot system to operate the UAV. In some embodiments, the dual operation system may override control signals from the first controller with the control signals received from the second controller. Further, the dual operation system may respond to various conditions when control signals from one of the controllers are lost or unstable, enabling an on-board pilot system to take over control of the UAV.

Abstract: A drone package receiving system is provided, utilizing a package-to-receiver system coupler that mates to a receiver pole. The coupler is attached to the drone package and “clips” onto the receiver pole to secure the package from the drone. The receiver pole is affixed to receptacle that is at a “customer-side” end of the pole, wherein the package is translated from the pole's end into the receptacle for safe and hands-free delivery to the customer.

Abstract: A flight monitoring system comprises a first set of flight-status detecting sensors comprising a first-type sensor A1 for providing a first-type measurement result and a second-type sensor A2 for providing a second-type measurement result; a second set of flight-status detecting sensors comprising a first-type sensor B1 for providing a first-type measurement result and a second-type sensor B2 for providing a second-type measurement result. The flight monitoring system further comprises a control module configured to perform: comparing a difference between the first-type measurement results from the first-type sensors A1 and B1 with a first predetermined threshold; if the difference is more than the first predetermined threshold, deciding a first-type sensor data of the first-type sensors as indefinite; and determining a value of the first-type sensor data by selecting one of the first-type measurement results from the first-type sensors A1 and B1 as the value of the first-type sensor data according to the second-type measurement results, and setting the first-type sensor data as definite after the selection.

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for unmanned aerial vehicle beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) flight operations. In an embodiment, a flight planning system of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) can identify handoff zones along a UAV flight corridor for transferring control of the UAV between ground control stations. The start of the handoff zones can be determined prior to a flight or while the UAV is in flight. For handoff zones determined prior to flight, the flight planning system can identify suitable locations to place a ground control station (GCS). The handoff zone can be based on a threshold visual line of sight range between a controlling GCS and the UAV. For determining handoff zones while in flight, the UAV can monitor RF signals from each GCS participating in the handoff to determine the start of a handoff period.

Abstract: Consumption information associated with a user consuming video segments may be obtained. The consumption information may define user engagement during a video segment and/or user response to the video segment. Sets of flight control settings associated with capture of the video segments may be obtained. The flight control settings may define aspects of a flight control subsystem for the unmanned aerial vehicle and/or a sensor control subsystem for the unmanned aerial vehicle. The preferences for the flight control settings of the unmanned aerial vehicle may be determined based upon the first set and the second set of flight control settings. Instructions may be transmitted to the unmanned aerial vehicle. The instructions may include the determined preferences for the flight control settings and being configured to cause the unmanned aerial vehicle to adjust the flight control settings to the determined preferences.

Abstract: A system and related method for detecting unmanned aerial vehicles and other targets aboard an aircraft scans a region proximal to the aircraft with a network of image sensors attached to the aircraft exterior. Visual processors detect potential targets and determine location data associated with the targets based on the captured images, sending the captured images and associated location data to a visual display system for display to a pilot or crew of the aircraft along with cueing symbology. The visual display system may include a cockpit-mounted heads-down display, a monocular, binocular, or head-tracking helmet-mounted display, or an offboard mobile device. The system may scan a 3-D space around the aircraft or a proximal 2-D section of terrain.
