摘要: Disclosed is a nighttime cooperative positioning method based on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) group, falling within the technical field of aircraft navigation and positioning. According to the present disclosure, the cooperative visual positioning and the collision warning for UAVs are realized by means of light colors of the UAVs, respective two-dimensional turntable cameras and a communication topology network, without adding additional equipment and without relying on an external signal source, avoiding external interference. Compared with the positioning method in a conventional manner, in the present disclosure, the system is effectively simplified, and the cooperative positioning among the interiors of a UAV cluster can be realized relatively simply and at a low cost to maintain the formation of the UAV group.

摘要: In a mobile robot, a control unit performs movement control for moving toward a target direction while remaining in a movable region representing a communicable region without a collision between an own robot and another robot. A movable region calculation unit calculates, from a state of the own robot and a state of the other robot, a first region where the own robot and the other robot do not collide, a second region where the own robot and the other robot are capable of communicating, and the movable region in which the first region and the second region overlap.

摘要: A vegetation management system includes a computing system including a processor having an associated memory that is configured for implementing a vegetative modeler including an image analyzer and at least one 3-dimensional (3D) vegetation growth model. The vegetative modeler is for analyzing images of vegetation that is growing around electrical power lines of an electric utility including identifying locations of the vegetation relative to locations of the electrical power lines and to identify specific types of the vegetation. The 3D vegetation growth model utilizes at least the locations of the vegetation relative to the locations of the electrical power lines and the specific types of the vegetation to generate a predicted timing of encroachment of the electrical power lines by the vegetation to identify future encroachment areas. A scheduler is for scheduling vegetative maintenance of the vegetation for the future encroachment areas.

摘要: A hierarchical modular arbitration architecture for a mobile platform guidance system is disclosed. In embodiments, the architecture comprises a hierarchy of arbitration layers, each arbitration layer narrower in scope than the layer above (e.g., mission objective arbitrators, route arbitrators, path arbitrators). Each arbitration layer includes one or more objective-based arbitrators in communication with one or more applications or modes. Each arbitrator receives control input (e.g., from the pilot, from aircraft sensors) and control signals from the level above, selecting a mode to make active based on decision agents within the arbitrator layer which control mode priorities and sequencing (e.g., some flight objectives may involve multiple arbitrators and their subject applications coordinating in sequence). Each arbitrator passes control signals associated with fulfilling the commands of the active mode to the level below and reports application and error information to the arbitrator level above and/or human/artificial pilot machine interfaces.

The aircraft control router may include a command processing module, sensor validation module, aircraft state estimation module, and control laws module. The command processing module may be configured to generate aircraft trajectory values based on received aircraft control inputs. The sensor validation module may be configured to validate sensor signals generated by sensors of the aircraft. The aircraft state estimation module may be configured to determine an estimated aircraft state of the aircraft based on the validated sensor signals. The control laws module may be configured to generate actuator commands for actuators of the aircraft to adjust control surfaces of the aircraft, where the generated actuator commands are based on aircraft trajectory values, validated sensor signals, and an estimated aircraft state. The aircraft control router may transmit the generated actuator commands to actuators of the aircraft.

摘要: Disclosed is a configuration of an autonomous vehicle for autonomously following a moving subject based on a radius of a virtual sphere surrounding the autonomous vehicle. The autonomous vehicle may be an unmanned ground vehicle or an unmanned aerial vehicle, which autonomously follows the subject (e.g., a device, a live entity, or any object) based on the virtual sphere. The radius of the virtual sphere may be dynamically configured according to a velocity of the autonomous vehicle or configurations of a camera coupled to the autonomous vehicle. Accordingly, the autonomous vehicle can follow the subject along a smooth trajectory, and capture images of abrupt movements of the subject in a cinematically pleasing manner.
