Abstract: A technique for detecting and avoiding obstacles by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes: querying a knowledge graph having information related to a dynamic obstacle that may be in proximity to the UAV when traveling along a planned route; comparing the location of the dynamic obstacle to the UAV to detect conflicts; and in response to detecting a conflict, performing an action to avoid conflict with the dynamic obstacle. The knowledge graph can be updated by receiving a VHF radio signal containing the information related to the dynamic obstacle in the audible speech format; translating the audible speech format to a text format using speech recognition; analyzing the text format for relevant information related to the dynamic obstacle; comparing the relevant information related to the dynamic obstacle of the text format to the knowledge graph to detect changes; and updating the knowledge graph.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a non-transitory computer-readable medium having logic stored thereon is provided. The logic, in response to execution by one or more processors of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), causes the UAV to perform actions comprising receiving at least one ADS-B message from an intruder aircraft; generating a intruder location prediction based on the at least one ADS-B message; comparing the intruder location prediction to an ownship location prediction to detect conflicts; and in response to detecting a conflict between the intruder location prediction and the ownship location prediction, determining a safe landing location along a planned route for the UAV and descending to land at the safe landing location.
