Abstract: Embodiments include devices and methods for determining a spin direction of a motor of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). A processor of the UAV may apply a first power to spin the motor in a first direction. The processor may select the first direction in response to determining that a detected rotational frequency-per-applied power in the first direction matches the expected rotational frequency-per-applied power. The processor may select the first direction in response to determining that a detected vertical motion is positive when the first power is applied in the first direction. The processor may also apply a second power to spin the motor in a second direction. The processor may determine whether a detected rotational frequency-per-applied power in the second direction matches the expected rotational frequency-per-applied power. The processor may determine whether a detected vertical motion is positive when the second power is applied in the second direction.

Abstract: Methods, devices and systems enable controlling an autonomous vehicle by identifying vehicles that are within a threshold distance of the autonomous vehicle, determining an autonomous capability metric of each of the identified vehicles, and adjusting a driving parameter of the autonomous vehicle based on the determined autonomous capability metric of each of the identified vehicles. Adjusting a driving parameter may include adjusting one or more of a minimum separation distance, a minimum following distance, a speed parameter, or an acceleration rate parameter.

Abstract: A lighting system for an unmanned autonomous vehicle (UAV) adapts to the environment around the UAV to ensure status notification lights are visible to an operator and/or abide by regulatory lighting requirements. A processor of the UAV may receive information from various sensors regarding environmental conditions and location of the UAV, and adjust a UAV lighting system to ensure visibility under the environmental conditions. Adjustments to the lighting system may include selection of light sources that are illuminated, the illumination intensity of particular light sources, the colors emitted by various light sources and other lighting configurations.

Abstract: Various embodiments include processing devices and methods for managing cleaning behavior by a cleaning robot. In some embodiments, a processor of the cleaning robot may obtain user planning information and user location information from one or more information sources external to the cleaning robot. The processor may analyze the user planning information and the user location information. The processor may determine one or more cleaning parameters for the cleaning robot based on the analysis of the user planning information and the user location information. The processor may generate an instruction for the cleaning robot to schedule an operation of the cleaning robot based on the one or more cleaning parameters. The processor may execute the generated instruction to perform the operation of the cleaning robot.

Abstract: Embodiments include methods performed by a processor of a robotic vehicle for detecting and responding to obstructions to an on-board imaging device that includes an image sensor. Various embodiments may include causing the imaging device to capture at least one image, determining whether an obstruction to the imaging device is detected based at least in part on the at least one captured image, and, in response to determining that an obstruction to the imaging device is detected, identifying an area of the image sensor corresponding to the obstruction and masking image data received from the identified area of the image sensor.

Abstract: Methods, devices and systems enable controlling an autonomous vehicle by identifying a vehicle that is within a threshold distance of the autonomous vehicle, determining an autonomous capability metric (ACM) the identified vehicle, determining whether the ACM of the identified vehicle is greater than a first threshold, determining whether the ACM of the identified vehicle is less than a second threshold, and adjusting a driving parameter of the autonomous vehicle so that the autonomous vehicle is more or less reliant on the capabilities of the identified vehicle based on whether the ACM of the identified vehicle exceeds the thresholds.
