    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for an aircraft autopilot guidance control system for guiding an aircraft having a body, the system comprising: a processor configured to determine if a yaw angle difference and a pitch angle difference meet corresponding angle thresholds; a skid-to-turn module configured to generate a skid-to-turn signal if the corresponding angle thresholds are met; a bank-to-turn module configured to generate a bank-to-turn signal having a lower bandwidth than the generated skid-to-turn signal; a rudder integrator module configured to add a rudder integrator feedback signal to the bank-to-turn signal, where the rudder integrator feedback signal is proportional to a rudder integrator; and a filter module configured to filter the generated bank-to-turn signal, wherein the filter module comprises a low-pass filter configured by a set of gains to pass the bank-to-turn signal if a side force on the body meets a side force threshold.

    Abstract: An autonomous moving system according to the present disclosure is an autonomous moving system including an autonomous moving body that moves autonomously. The autonomous moving system includes a control unit that executes control of movement of the autonomous moving body including collision control, a setting unit that sets a defense space around the autonomous moving body, for executing the collision control, a detecting unit that detects obstructions in a vicinity of the autonomous moving body, and a classifying unit that classifies obstructions that are detected. The setting unit changes a range of the defense space, based on the obstructions that are classified by the classifying unit, and the control unit executes control of movement of the autonomous moving body including the collision control in at least one of when the obstruction is inside the defense space and when the obstruction is predicted to enter the defense space.

    Abstract: The automated pre-flight inspection of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) uses a UAV and a dock. The UAV includes one or more cameras, one or more sub-systems, and a frame. The dock includes one or more processors, one or more memories, and one or more sensors configured for use with an automated pre-flight inspection of the UAV while the UAV is located at the dock. The one or more processors are configured to execute instructions stored in the one or more memories to perform the automated pre-flight inspection using the one or more sensors to produce output representing operational states of the one or more cameras, the one or more sub-systems, and one or more portions of the frame. The output is transmitted for display at a user device associated with the UAV.

    Abstract: Apparatuses for operating a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) over a communications network that includes at least one sparse datalink that hampers remotely controlling the ROV in real time or near real time. In some embodiments, remote operation of the ROV is enabled by locating a local awareness/autonomy edge-processing node on the ROV side of the sparse datalink(s) and configuring the local awareness/autonomy edge-processing node to provide the ROV with local control based on remote supervisory commands received over the sparse datalink(s). In some embodiments, the local awareness/autonomy edge-processing node maintains situational awareness information regarding the environment local to the ROV that autonomy algorithms on the local awareness/autonomy edge-processing node use in controlling the ROV to perform one or more tasks within the need for real time or near real time remote control. Related methods, software, and systems are also disclosed.
