Abstract: 1. Method for controlling a flying body for cleaning surfaces2.1. Flying bodies can cover large distances between arrangements of smooth and curved surfaces without requiring manual manipulation. This reduces personnel requirements and enables large surfaces to be maintained, for example solar power stations, in a fully automated manner.2.2. The method for controlling a flying body for cleaning surfaces consists of detecting the surrounding surfaces of an object to be cleaned, directing the flying body with respect thereto and structuring the flight path. As a result, the surface can be cleaned particularly efficiently and, if needed, worked on further.2.3. Said method for controlling a flying object for cleaning surfaces is suitable for use on glass facades or on solar power stations, particularly in arid regions.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a booster aircraft system having a host aircraft and one or more booster UAVs coupled thereto. When necessary, such as during takeoff and climb of the host aircraft, the booster UAVs operate to boost the thrust of the host aircraft. The booster UAVs are configured to detach from the host aircraft when no longer needed (e.g., at cruising altitude/speed), thus removing their weight from the host aircraft. Each booster UAV includes wings, one or more propulsors, a control system, and landing gear, which enable the booster UAV to return autonomously to a predetermined location once detached from the host aircraft to be refueled and reused.

Abstract: Drones have become ubiquitous in performing risky and labor intensive areal tasks cheaply and safely. To allow them to be autonomous, their flight plan needs to be pre-built for them. Existing works do not precalculate flight paths but instead focus on navigation through camera based image processing techniques, genetic or geometric algorithms to guide the drone during flight. That makes flight navigation complex and risky. We present automated flight plan builder DIFPL which pre-builds flight plans for drones to survey a large area. The flight plans are built for subregions and fed into drones which allow them to navigate autonomously. DIFPL employs distributed paradigm on Hadoop MapReduce framework. Distribution is achieved by processing sections or subregions in parallel. Experiments performed with network and elevation datasets validate the efficiency of DIFPL in building optimal flight plans.

Abstract: A device can receive, from a set of sensor devices associated with an irrigation system, information that identifies a set of volumetric flow rates. The device can determine a set of pressure loss values based on the set of volumetric flow rates. The device can determine, based on the set of pressure loss values and a first set of moving average pressure loss values, a second set of moving average pressure loss values. The device can determine a subset of sensor devices for which corresponding moving average pressure loss values satisfy a threshold, and determine a subset of locations that correspond to the subset of sensor devices. The device can identify a leak location based on the subset of locations, and provide information that identifies the leak location to permit and/or cause an action to be performed in association with the leak location.
