摘要:
Some embodiments are directed to an unmanned vehicle for use with a companion unmanned vehicle. The unmanned vehicle can include a satellite navigation unit that is configured to receive a satellite signal indicative of a current position of the unmanned vehicle. The unmanned vehicle can also include an inertial navigation unit that is configured to determine the current position of the unmanned vehicle. The unmanned vehicle can also include a control unit disposed in communication with the satellite navigation unit and the inertial navigation unit. The control unit is configured to determine a planned position of the unmanned vehicle based on the planned path, compare the current position determined by the inertial navigation unit with the planned position based on the planned path, and control the movement of the unmanned vehicle based on at least the comparison between the current position and the planned position.
摘要:
The disclosed subject matter relates to methods and apparatus facilitating assessments of structural and electronic features, parameters, characteristics or any combination thereof using one or more unmanned autonomous vehicles. In some embodiments, an unmanned vehicle may be configured to monitor one or both of the structural and electrical characteristics of an object, and can also include cooperative behavior between two or more unmanned vehicles to test electrical communication in a directional fashion.
摘要:
A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code causes a processor at a first vehicle (e.g., a first autonomous vehicle) to generate a first planned path based on a current position of the first vehicle and a mission requirement assigned to the first vehicle. A first planned path associated with a second vehicle (e.g., a second autonomous vehicle), which is based on a current position of the second vehicle and a mission requirement assigned to the second vehicle, is received at the first vehicle. After the first planned path associated with the second vehicle is received, a second planned path is generated based on the first planned path associated with the second vehicle and at least one of the mission requirement assigned to the first vehicle or the first planned path of the first vehicle. The second planned path of the first vehicle is transmitted to the second vehicle.
