    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a central body, a plurality of arms extending out from the central body, and a plurality of propulsion units. Each arm of the plurality of arms includes a stem portion including a stem interior space, one or more branch portions each including a branch interior space, and a joint connecting the stem portion and the one or more branch portions. The joint includes a joint interior space and is configured to move the one or more branch portions relative to the stem portion. Each propulsion unit is attached to a corresponding arm of the plurality of arms. The stem interior space, the branch interior space, and the joint interior space are configured to provide an internal passageway to permit electrical routing between the central body and the plurality of propulsion units.

    Abstract: An apparatus and kit for assembling a mobile platform and methods for making and using the same. When associated with a mobile platform, a power device can be installed outside a control device coupled with the mobile platform. The power device can be located outside a housing enclosing the mobile platform and exposed to an external operating environment of the mobile platform. Heat generated by the power device can be dissipated without installation of additional cooling equipment. The power device and the control device can thus have lower operating temperatures and longer lifetimes. The power device can be installed on a module associated with the mobile platform for further improving heat dissipation of the power device. The module optionally can function as a shock absorber for preventing damage to the power device in case the mobile platform is involved in a crash.
