Abstract: A method for automated assignment of a staging pad to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes: launching the UAV from a launch location; tracking a drift of the UAV from the launch location; determining a subsequent position of the UAV after the launching based upon geofiducial navigation; calculating an estimated position of the launch location by offsetting the subsequent position by the drift; attempting to match the estimated position to an available staging pad of a plurality of staging pads; and assigning the UAV to the available staging pad when the estimated position successfully matches to the available staging pad.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle safety protection technologies, and in particular, to an unmanned aerial vehicle safety protection method and apparatus and an unmanned aerial vehicle. The method includes: obtaining ultrasonic information and a flight status of an unmanned aerial vehicle, where the flight status includes a normal flight state and a descending state; and performing safety protection on the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the ultrasonic information and the flight status. The implementation can reduce an occurrence probability that an unmanned aerial vehicle crashes at a high altitude when ultrasound encounters abnormalities to get out of control at the high altitude and fail to descend, rise, move to the left or move to the right and land without slowing down to violently hit the ground, so that the safety of the unmanned aerial vehicle is enhanced, and user experience is improved.

Abstract: A system includes a flight controller. The flight controller is configured to, in response to a first user interface receiving a first user input, generate a first control signal. The first control signal is configured to control an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to effect an autonomous flight with a first flight parameter and a second flight parameter. In response to a second user interface, different from the first user interface, receiving a second user input, the flight controller is further configured to modify the first flight parameter to obtain a modified first flight parameter, generate a second control signal based on the modified first flight parameter and the second flight parameter, and control the UAV to operate based on the second control signal.

Abstract: A system for collecting vehicle crash data at a vehicle crash site of a vehicle crash is provided. The system may include an emergency response unit that includes an emergency response vehicle and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that is automatically deployed from the emergency response vehicle at the vehicle crash site. The UAV may be an autonomous or semi-autonomous drone, and include a processor, memory, and sensor, wherein the sensor collects vehicle crash data (such as image, video, or audio) at the crash site. The system may include a remote computing device and an insurance computing device to process the vehicle crash data collected by the UAV and/or initiate a crash insurance claim. The vehicle crash data may be used for one or more insurance-related purposes or activities, such as handling, adjusting, or generating auto or homeowners insurance claims; crash reconstruction; fault determination; damaged vehicle repair; and/or buildup identification.

Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling a drone device to use a dynamic multi-dimensional spatial representation of an indoor property environment to improve autonomous navigation. In some implementations, an instruction to perform an action at a particular location of a property is received by a drone device. A spatial representation of the property that identifies a dynamic object is obtained by the drone device. The status of the dynamic object impacts an ability of the drone device to navigate near the dynamic object. Sensor data collected by one or more sensors of a monitoring system of the property and that indicates a present status of the dynamic object is obtained by the drone device. A path to the particular location is determined by the drone device. The path to the particular location is finally navigated by the drone device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a drone. The drone includes a main body, a plurality of blades, a plurality of driving motors, a power supply unit, a control unit, a plurality of sensors, and a plurality of switch units, and the switch units are connected to turn on and off power supplied to the driving motor that drives a blade corresponding to the sensor so that the main body does not collide with the obstacle. The blades are mounted on the main body. The driving motors correspond to the respective blades. The power supply unit supplies power. The control unit controls power. The sensors are installed to correspond to the respective blades. The switch units receive a signal detected by one of the sensors and turn on and off the direct supply of power to a corresponding one of the driving motors.
