Abstract: A system and method for moving an item using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) are described herein. The system includes an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), and a mechanism attached to the UAV. The mechanism is configured to grab an item located substantially horizontally vis-à-vis the UAV or to a lateral side of the UAV. The mechanism is configured to maintain a balance of the UAV such that a center of gravity of the UAV including the mechanism is located substantially on a vertical line containing an original center of gravity of the UAV without the mechanism.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for retrieving, for an autonomous vehicle which is moving, a navigation path from a memory device in communication with a processor. The system generates a navigation path range based on the navigation path, the navigation path range allowing a threshold distance from the navigation path, and identifying a current location of the autonomous vehicle. The system also determines that the current location of the autonomous vehicle is outside the navigation path range, sends a request to the autonomous vehicle for a list of reasons for the navigation path distinction, and receives (from the autonomous vehicle) the list of reasons for the navigation path distinction. The system compares the list of reasons to a list of acceptable causes for the autonomous vehicle to not be within the navigation path range and determines that an intrusion attempt on the autonomous vehicle is being made.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to a method of dynamically updating a transport task of a UAV. The method includes receiving, at a transport-provider computing system, an item provider request for transportation of a plurality of packages from a loading location at a given future time. The method also includes assigning, by the transport-provider computing system, a respective transport task to each of a plurality of UAVs, where the respective transport task comprises an instruction to deploy to the loading location to pick up one or more of the plurality of packages. Further, the method includes identifying, by the transport-provider system, a first package while or after a first UAV picks up the first package. Yet further, the method includes based on the identifying of the first package, providing, by the transport-provider system, a task update to the first UAV to update the respective transport task of the first UAV.

Abstract: Example implementations may relate to self-deployment of operational infrastructure by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Specifically, a control system may determine operational location(s) from which a group of UAVs is to provide aerial transport services in a geographic area. For at least a first of the operational location(s), the system may cause a first UAV from the group to perform an infrastructure deployment task that includes (i) a flight from a source location to the first operational location and (ii) installation of operational infrastructure at the first operational location by the first UAV. In turn, this may enable the first UAV to operate from the first operational location, as the first UAV can charge a battery of the first UAV using the operational infrastructure installed at the first operational location and/or can carry out item transport task(s) at location(s) that are in the vicinity of the first operational location.

Abstract: An apparatus for connecting a number of rotary blade unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is described. The apparatus includes a first physical connector, a first electrical connector, a second physical connector, a second electrical connector, a storage area, and a UAV control unit. The first physical connector attaches the apparatus to a first UAV. The first electrical connector connects electricity between the apparatus and the first UAV. The second physical connector attaches the apparatus to a second UAV. The second electrical connector connects electricity between the apparatus and the second UAV. The storage area stores an energy source for the apparatus. The UAV control unit includes a processor and storage medium. The processor and storage medium are in communication with a cloud based network and receive instructions for the operation of the UAV, including steering instructions, through the cloud based network from a remote control device.
