Abstract: A type of a waste item is identified at a waste collection location using at least a drone-based system. The drone-based system characterizes one or more properties of the waste item. Based on the identified type and the one or more properties, the drone-based system performs a risk assessment based on human health of content of the waste item. One or more actions are taken by one or more drones of the drone-based system based on the risk assessment of the content of the waste item.

Abstract: A system and method for optimizing a rescue operation of an individual. The method comprises maintaining, by an individual engaged in an activity, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) associated with and in proximity to the individual. For storage at the UAV, the individual records at a recording device a message. A sensor device is configured to detect a situation requiring a need to rescue the individual at a current location, and generates a trigger signal in response to a detection. In response to the receipt of the trigger signal, a current GPS location of the individual is recorded and a launching of the UAV to traverse a flight-path to a destination location. At or before arriving at the destination location, the UAV contemporaneously provides the stored recorded message and current GPS location of the individual to an emergency response authority to inform of the individual's situation and location.

Abstract: A Method for providing information about an object using an unmanned aerial vehicle with a data acquisition unit is disclosed according to some embodiments of the invention. The method may include determining positional data with reference to the object, the positional data being referenced to a measuring coordinate system, providing a digital template regarding the object, the template at least partly representing the object in coarse manner, and referencing the template with the positional data so that the template corresponds as to its spatial parameters to the object in the measuring coordinate system.

Abstract: Dynamically establishing a temporary safe evacuation route away from an unsafe situation using unmanned vehicles. The temporary safe evacuation route is determined based on real-time information regarding the unsafe situation. A network of unmanned vehicles are deployed and positioned at determined points along the safe evacuation route. Guidance is provided to the network of unmanned vehicles for display along the safe evacuation route by the unmanned vehicle to aid people in evacuating from the unsafe situation. Information in real time regarding the unsafe situation may be received from the unmanned vehicles. Based on the information received, the safe evacuation route may be adjusted.

Abstract: Techniques for drone device control are provided. In one example, a computer-implemented method comprises: meeting, by a drone device operatively coupled to a processor, an aircraft at a first location; and guiding, by the drone device, the aircraft to a second location along a ground movement path selected from a plurality of ground movement paths associated with an airport. The guiding can comprise providing a direction indication to the aircraft; and monitoring a defined region around the aircraft for one or more hazards. The guiding can also comprise, in response to identifying a hazard from the one or more hazards related to the defined region around the aircraft, providing a hazard indication to the aircraft.

Abstract: A system for detecting a particular occupancy status of multiple parking positions of a parking facility, which includes a parking occupancy sensor for detecting an occupancy status of a parking position, a displacement device for displacing the parking occupancy sensor along the parking positions, so that, due to a displacement of the parking occupancy sensor along the parking positions, the parking occupancy sensor is able to detect the particular occupancy status of the parking positions. A corresponding method, a corresponding parking facility for vehicles and a computer program are also described.
