Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and a method for controlling a motion of a device from an initial state to a target state in an environment having obstacles that form constraints on the motion of the device. The method includes executing a learned function trained with machine learning to generate a feasible or infeasible trajectory connecting the initial state of the device with the target state of the device while penalizing an extent of violation of at least some of the constraints to produce an initial trajectory. The method further includes solving a convex optimization problem subject to the constraints to produce an optimal trajectory that minimizes deviation from the initial trajectory and controlling the motion of the device according to the optimal trajectory.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for an aerial drone system including a drone system controller, at least one working drone (101), and a plurality of support drones (103). The working drone (101) is operated by the drone system controller (125) to adjust a position of the working drone (101). A tether line (105) coupled to the working drone (101) provides electrical power to the working drone (101). The support drones (103) are each coupled to the tether line (105) at a different location along the tether line (105) forming a tethered aerial drone system. Each support (drone 103) supports a portion of the weight of the tether line (105) and is operated by the drone system controller (125) to adjust the position of the tether line (105) by adjusting the position of one or more of the support drones (103).

Abstract: According to an aspect, a package transport container for a UAV includes a manifest device having a computer processor, a receptacle including a base that secures contents of the receptacle, a locking mechanism that couples the manifest device to the receptacle during transport, and a connector coupling the manifest device to the UAV. The processor transmits material properties of the contents of the receptacle to the UAV, receives routing information for a package to be transported, monitors coordinates of the package transport container during transport, and upon determining the coordinates match coordinates of a delivery location specified in the routing information: sends a release request signal to the UAV to release the receptacle; receives a release command from the UAV; and disengages the locking mechanism to release the manifest device from the base. The routing information is determined at least in part based on the material properties of the contents.

Abstract: Aspects include a system for transferring a payload between drones. The system includes a first drone having a first member and a first controller, the first member having a first coupling device on one end, the first member being configured to carry a payload, the first controller being configured to change a first altitude and orientation of the first drone. A second drone includes a second member and controller, the second member having a second coupling device on one end, the second member being configured to receive the payload, the second controller being configured to change a second altitude and orientation of the second drone. The controllers cooperate to change at least one of first and second orientations to operably engage the first coupling device to the second coupling device for transferring the payload from the first member to the second member.

Abstract: A method and a system for reoptimizing unmanned aerial vehicle formation communication topology based on minimum cost arborescence are used for optimizing reconstructed UAV formation communication topology after a communication failure occurs on the UAVs in the formation. The method includes calculating a first communication cost of the reconstructed UAV formation communication topology; comparing the first communication cost with a target communication cost for the minimum cost arborescence of the formation communication diagram under a predetermined state; when the first communication cost is greater than the target communication cost for the minimum cost arborescence of the formation communication diagram under the predetermined state, optimizing the reconstructed UAV formation communication topology through a predetermined strategy.

Abstract: Systems and methods configured to form and point beams from one or more unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) toward a target coverage area on the ground. One embodiment describes dividing the target coverage area on the ground among multiple UAVs when each UAV antenna system generates static beams. Another embodiment describes dividing the target coverage area on the ground among multiple UAVs when their antenna systems are capable of dynamically steering their respective beams. Another set of embodiments describe systems and method to allow multiple UAVs to provide service in the same area on the ground using the same spectrum.
