    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems that can help an aerial transport service provider (ATSP) determine how to distribute and redistribute unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) amongst a plurality of UAV deployment stations located throughout a geographic area. In accordance with example embodiments, the ATSP system can take one or more performance metrics for item providers into account when determining how much UAV transport capacity to allocate to different item providers for a given time period. The ATSP can then determine how to distribute UAVs amongst different UAV nests in advance of and/or during the given time period, such that each item provider's allocated UAV transport capacity is available from the UAV nest or nest(s) that serve each item provider during the given time period.

    Abstract: A method includes capturing, by a sensor on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), an image of a delivery location. The method further includes determining, based on the image of the delivery location, a segmentation image. The segmentation image segments the delivery location into a plurality of pixel areas with corresponding semantic classifications. The method also includes determining, based on the segmentation image, a distance-to-obstacle image of a delivery zone at the delivery location. The distance-to-obstacle image comprises a plurality of pixels, each pixel representing a distance in the segmentation image from a nearest pixel area with a semantic classification indicative of an obstacle in the delivery location. Additionally, the method includes selecting, based on the distance-to-obstacle image, a delivery point in the delivery zone. The method also includes positioning the UAV above the delivery point in the delivery zone for delivery of a payload.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for validating a position of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) are provided. A method can include receiving map data for a location, the map data including labeled data for a plurality of landmarks in a vicinity of the location. The method can include generating image data for the location, the image data being derived from images of the vicinity generated by the UAV including at least a subset of the plurality of landmarks. The method can include determining a visual position of the UAV using the image data and the map data. The method can include determining a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) position of the UAV. The method can include generating an error signal using the visual position and the GNSS position. The method can also include validating the GNSS position in accordance with the error signal satisfying a transition condition.

    Abstract: A method includes determining, by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a position of an autoloader device for the UAV; based on the determined position of the autoloader device, causing the UAV to follow a descent trajectory in which the UAV moves from a starting position to a first nudged position in order to deploy a tethered pickup component of the UAV to a payout position on an approach side of the autoloader device; deploying the tethered pickup component of the UAV to the payout position; causing the UAV to follow a side-step trajectory in which the UAV moves laterally to a second nudged position in order to cause the tethered pickup component of the UAV to engage the autoloader device; and retracting the tethered pickup component of the UAV to pick up a payload from the autoloader device.

    Abstract: A method is disclosed. The method includes receiving an indication of presence of an aircraft in a vicinity of an uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) which is flying along a flight path. The method also includes decelerating, based on the received indication, the UAV to reduce a ground speed along the flight path. The method additionally includes descending, after reducing the ground speed, the UAV to a hover position. The method further includes determining, while the UAV is in the hover position, whether to resume the flight path or to land the UAV based on a determination of continued presence of the aircraft in the vicinity of the UAV. The method also includes controlling the UAV based on the determination of whether to resume the flight path or to land the UAV.
