Abstract: Apparatus for installing equipment at a remote location includes a gripper that is releasably coupled to a controller. The gripper includes a first grip member and a second grip member. The second grip member is pivotally joined to the first grip member and moveable between an open position and a closed position. The gripper also includes a gripper coupler secured to the first and second grip members and operable to engage a control coupler of the controller to releasably mount the gripper to the controller. The gripper also includes a transmission assembly with a toothed track mounted to the second grip member and a round gear mounted to the first grip member, the round gear meshed with the toothed track and the transmission assembly positioned to be mechanically engaged by the control coupler whereby the control coupler is operable to mechanically drive the round gear to move the second grip member between the open and closed positions.

Abstract: An autonomous airborne carbon dioxide capturing assembly for carbon dioxide sequestration includes a plurality of airships each including a propulsion and navigation system, a sensor, and a carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and liquefaction module. The sensor measures CO2 concentrations. A computer is operationally engaged to the propulsion and navigation system, the sensor, the CO2 capture and liquefaction module, a positioning transceiver, and a communications transceiver. The computer automates decision-making and selectively actuates the propulsion and navigation system for controlled flight to a target area, to selectively actuate the CO2 capture and liquefaction module to capture and to liquefy CO2 from air at the target area, and to selectively actuate the propulsion and navigation system for controlled flight to a CO2 storage facility for offloading of the CO2.

Abstract: A charging and patrol replacement system for air-land unmanned aerial vehicles and a method thereof. In the system, an unmanned aerial vehicle in flight continuously detects a remaining battery power thereof, and when the remaining battery power is lower than a threshold, the unmanned aerial vehicle generates and transmits a return-to-home signal to an unmanned ground vehicle, the unmanned ground vehicle continuously transmits a coordinate of a power supply vehicle to the unmanned aerial vehicle in flight, to guide the unmanned aerial vehicle in flight to return to the power supply vehicle for charging, and the unmanned ground vehicle then activates another unmanned aerial vehicle to synchronize patrol data with the unmanned aerial vehicle which is returned to charge, so as to replace the returned unmanned aerial vehicle to perform patrol, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the sustainability and synergy of the air-land unmanned vehicles.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) comprises a flight control system and an electromechanical system directed by the flight control system. The flight control system is configured to track a position of a beacon that is in motion and monitor a difference between an actual position of the unmanned aerial vehicle and a desired position of the unmanned aerial vehicle relative to the position of the beacon. The flight control system configures one or more flight objectives based on one or more factors comprising whether the difference between the actual position and the desired position exceeds a threshold, wherein the flight objectives comprise a velocity objective and a position objective. The flight control system also commands the electromechanical system based at least on the one or more flight objectives.

Abstract: A tailsitter aircraft includes an airframe having first and second wings with first and second pylons extending therebetween, a thrust array attached to the airframe, payloads and payload saddle assemblies coupled to the pylons each configured to secure a respective payload. The thrust array includes propulsion assemblies configured to transition the airframe between a forward flight orientation for wing-borne lift and a VTOL orientation for thrust-borne lift. Each payload saddle assembly includes a latch assembly and a retainer configured to secure the respective payload against a respective pylon. A latch assembly is movable between various positions including an open position and a closed position and is configured to secure the respective payload in the closed position and release the respective payload in the open position. Each latch assembly is configured to move from the closed position to the open position to release the respective payload in the VTOL orientation.
