Abstract: A landing pad for an unmanned aerial vehicle (“UAV”) is disclosed. The landing pad includes a support structure, a charging pad, and a plurality of movable UAV supports. The charging pad is coupled to the support structure and able to move relative to the support structure. The UAV supports are also coupled to the support structure and configured to translate along the support structure from a first position to a second position. When the UAV supports are in the first position, the charging pad supports the UAV. When the UAV supports are in the second position, the charging pad is lowered and the UAV supports then provide support to the UAV.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for landing a vehicle. For instance, the method may include: before a descent transition point, receiving from a service a landing zone confirmation including landing zone location information and an indication that a landing zone is clear; determining a landing flight path based on the landing zone location information; and upon the vehicle starting a descent to the landing zone using the landing flight path: receiving landing zone data from at least one of a radar system, a camera system, an altitude and heading reference system (AHRS), and a GPS system; performing an analysis based on the landing zone data to determine whether an unsafe condition exists; and based on the analysis, computing flight controls for the vehicle to continue the descent or modify the descent.

Abstract: Disclosed is an air-ground integrated landslide monitoring method and device. The monitoring method comprises the following steps: step one, performing high-precision (centimeter-level) vertical aerial photogrammetry and oblique photogrammetry on a monitored area by using an unmanned aerial vehicle, and quickly generating a digital topographic map, a digital orthographic map and a digital surface model; step two, performing accurate and intensive monitoring on the monitored area through a monitoring device; and step three, finally sending obtained data to a processor, and after the monitoring data are processed by the processor, sending the data to a remote-control center, so that real-time transformation and spatialization of dynamic landslide monitoring information are achieved. The present disclosure also provides a landslide monitoring device. The landslide monitoring device comprises a control box, a bottom plate and an unmanned aerial vehicle.

Abstract: In one aspect, a system for performing a pre-takeoff passenger safety procedure for a pilotless vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft is disclosed. The system can begin by receiving authentication information from each of one or more passengers attempting to enter a passenger cabin of the VTOL. The system then authenticates each of the one or more passengers as an authorized passenger based on the authentication information. If the one or more passengers are successfully authenticated, the system allows the one or more passengers to enter the passenger cabin of the VTOL aircraft, and subsequently performs a set of onboard pre-takeoff checks to determine if the VTOL aircraft and the one or more passengers are safe for takeoff. In response to determining that the VTOL aircraft and the one or more passengers are safe for takeoff, the system further confirms readiness of each of the passengers for immediate takeoff.

Abstract: Segmentation first breaks the images into segments or regions, with the segments of the region having text or symbols. The segmented image is separately applied to two different CNN-based models. Each model produces text boxes where potential text might exist. Then, a selective NMS algorithm is applied to the output of each model to produce a final group of text regions. These text regions are analyzed and actions taken.

Abstract: A device can be configured to receive flight data from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), where the flight data indicates at least one of an identifier that identifies the UAV, a location of the UAV, an altitude of the UAV, a bearing of the UAV, or a speed of the UAV. The device can be further configured to convert at least a portion of the flight data from a first format to a second format; generate automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) data based on the converted flight data; and perform an action associated with the ADS-B data.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle includes a fuselage and an arm coupled to the fuselage. The arm includes a first segment, a second segment, and a connecting assembly coupling and locking the first segment and the second segment to each other. The connecting assembly includes a first connecting member and a second connecting member. The first connecting member is rotatably coupled to one of the first segment or the second segment. The second connecting member is coupled to another one of the first segment or the second segment. The first connecting member is rotatable relative to the arm and engages with the second connecting member to lock the first segment and the second segment.
