Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for unmanned aerial vehicle flight operations near physical structures or objects. In particular, a point cloud of the physical structure is generated using aerial images of the structure. The point cloud is then referenced to determine a flight path for the UAV to follow around the physical structure, determine whether a planned flight path to desired locations around the structure is possible, determine the fastest route to return home and land from a given position around the physical structure, determine possibility of inflight collision to surface represented in point cloud, or determine an orientation of a fixed or gimbaled camera given a position of the UAV relative the point cloud.

Abstract: A process for controlling a plurality of mobile-radio equipped robots in a talkgroup includes receiving, at a mobile-radio equipped robot via a wireless communications interface comprising one of an infrastructure wireless communication interface for communicating with an infrastructure radio access network (RAN) and an ad-hoc wireless communication interface for communicating with an ad-hoc network, a group voice call containing a voice-command. The mobile-radio equipped robot determines that it is a target of the group voice call, and responsively text-converts the voice-command into an actionable text-based command. The mobile-radio equipped robot subsequently operates a mechanical drive element in accordance with the actionable text-based command.

Abstract: Many different types of systems are utilized or tasks are performed in a marine environment. The present invention provides various configurations of unmanned vehicles, or drones, that can be operated and/or controlled for such systems or tasks. One or more unmanned vehicles can be integrated with a dedicated marine electronic device of a marine vessel for autonomous control and operation. Additionally or alternatively, the unmanned vehicle can be manually remote operated during use in the marine environment. Such unmanned vehicles can be utilized in many different marine environment systems or tasks, including, for example, navigation, sonar, radar, search and rescue, video streaming, alert functionality, among many others. However, as contemplated by the present invention, the marine environment provides many unique challenges that may be accounted for with operation and control of an unmanned vehicle.

Abstract: An apparatus for mounting cameras to a drone may include a frame having camera mounts for mounting two 190-degree field-of-view cameras in a back-to-back orientation. Positioning two 190-degree field-of-view cameras in a back-to-back orientation enables obtaining 360-degree field-of-view by stitching images from the two cameras together. The frame may be configured to position the cameras at a 30-40-degree tilt angle (e.g., 35°) with respect to a main axis of the drone to enable the respective images to be stitched together with reduced stitch lines while allowing the lower-facing camera to be used for viewing the ground. In some embodiments, the camera apparatus may be mounted to a drone dampening system.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for avoiding or exploiting air drag on an aerial vehicle are disclosed. In embodiments, the methods and apparatus may be implemented in a controller and used to increase the energy efficiency of an aerial vehicle. In the embodiments, at least one parameter associated with a force on an aerial vehicle is determined. A yaw setting for the aerial vehicle is then determined that exploits or avoids air drag on the aerial vehicle for energy efficiency. The yaw setting may be referenced to a yaw based on directionality in the shape of the aerial vehicle. In other embodiments, a drag associated with a force on an aerial vehicle is determined. It is then determined if there is a selected component in the drag based on a desired maneuver of the aerial vehicle. A yaw setting is then determined based on whether the selected component is in the drag.
