Abstract: An example of the present disclosure provides a stereo camera assembly of an object tracking system. The stereo camera assembly comprises a wide-angle lens camera mounted on a mounting structure and a telephoto lens camera mounted on the mounting structure such that a field of view of the telephoto lens camera is at least partially encompassed by a field of view of the wide-angle lens camera.

Abstract: A method of operating a facility includes identifying, by a controller, a ground vehicle approaching a restricted access area, and determining, by the controller, if the identified ground vehicle is authorized to enter the restricted access area. The controller permits the identified ground vehicle to enter the restricted access area when the controller determines that the identified ground vehicle is authorized to enter the restricted access area. The controller determines if an object other than the identified ground vehicle is approaching the restricted access area with the identified ground vehicle, and activates protective action when the controller determines that the identified ground vehicle is not authorized to enter the restricted access area or that an object other than the permitted ground vehicle is approaching to enter the restricted access area with the permitted ground vehicle.

Abstract: A method and corresponding apparatus and computer-readable storage medium are provided for causing one or more robots to execute a mission. The method includes identifying the mission including a nominal sequence of selected tasks that are executable to cause the one or more robots to execute maneuvers to achieve a mission objective. The method includes determining a task graph in which the mission is modeled. The task graph is expressed as a directed graph and includes selected task nodes representing the selected tasks that are connected by edges representing transitions between the selected tasks. The method also includes causing the one or more robots to execute the mission using the task graph and a task library of tasks including a selected task executable to cause the one or more robots to execute a maneuver.

Abstract: A system for facilitating navigation of an aircraft comprises one or more processors and a memory coupled to the processors. The memory stores data into a data store and program code that, when executed by the processors, causes the system to detect an infrared site signal indicating a site code transmitted by one or more infrared beacons that form a beacon network around a site. The site code represents a site. In response to detecting the infrared site signal, the system determines the site indicated by the site code. The system searches for two or more infrared beacon signals and detects the two or more infrared beacon signals. In response to detecting the two or more infrared beacon signals, the system determines a location of the aircraft based on the two or more infrared beacon signals.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a first image that is captured at a first time. The method also includes detecting a location of a first object in the first image. The method also includes determining a region of interest based at least partially upon the location of the first object in the first image. The method also includes receiving a second image that is captured at a second time. The method also includes identifying the region of interest in the second image. The method also includes detecting a location of a second object in a portion of the second image that is outside of the region of interest.

Abstract: Presented are passive-release, snap-fit coupling devices for attaching cargo to cargo suspension systems, methods for making/using such devices, and aircraft equipped with underbody suspension systems using passive-release, snap-fit coupling devices for securing payloads. An object mounting device is presented for securing an object, such as a cargo container, to a tether hook of a suspension system, such as an aircraft's payload suspension system. The object mounting device includes a base plate that affixes to the object, and a hook latch mounted onto the base plate. The hook latch includes a guide surface adjacent a catch cavity. The catch cavity releasably receives therein the tether hook. The guide surface is oriented at an oblique angle with respect to the base plate in order to slidably engage the tether hook, upon release from the catch cavity and under the force of gravity, to thereby eject the tether hook from the hook latch.

Abstract: Split-tiltwing aircraft and related methods. The aircraft comprise a wing assembly comprising a forward wing segment and a rear wing segment. The wing assembly is configured to be transitioned among a forward thrust configuration, in which the forward and rear wing segments define a continuous airfoil shape, and a plurality of pitched thrust configurations, in which the forward and rear wing segments are spaced apart. The forward wing segment is configured to be tilted among a forward thrust position and a plurality of pitched positions. The methods comprise controlling elevation of the aircraft by controlling vectored thrust from propulsion units, and transitioning the aircraft to a cruise configuration by tilting the forward wing segment from a pitched position to a forward thrust position, in which the forward and rear wing segments define the continuous airfoil shape, and supplying forward vectored thrust to the aircraft with the propulsion units.

Abstract: Rotor assemblies for aircraft are described that include a plurality of blades that are disposed vertically on a common axis along different horizontal planes. When the rotor assemblies are free-wheeling, the blades form a vertically stacked configuration, and when the rotor assembly is driven in rotation to generate lift, the blades bloom out from the vertically stacked configuration. At least one of the blades in the rotor assembly has a blade geometry that is different with respect to other blades such that when the blades are vertically stacked and free-wheeling, the collective shape of the blades is aerodynamic in shape, based on the different blade geometry, that reduces aerodynamic drag on the rotor assembly.
