Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a fuselage that supports breakaway components that are attached using magnets. One component is a battery pack which powers the vehicle. Another component is a rotor set including two identical pod pairs that each support a motor and a propeller. Each motor is attached to a hub assembly that includes a plurality of spokes captured in a motor hub and sandwiched by a rigid motor printed circuit board on top and a rigid hub plate. The hub assembly construction is rigid in plane and functions to keep the motor firmly stable during operation. The hub assembly is compliant and resilient when impacted parallel to the plane. Other features of the pod pairs encage the otherwise dangerous spinning propeller. This allows the vehicle to operate with a higher level of safety than conventional UAVs.

Abstract: A modular unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) can include a main body and one or more peripherals configured to be removably attached to the main body. The main body can be configured to identify the peripheral, such as through the provision of an identifying signal on the provisional. The processor can cause the UAV to execute a function based at least in part on the identification of the attached peripheral, or by user interaction with the peripheral or another component of the UAV.
