Abstract: A system for detecting and neutralizing a target aerial vehicle comprises a counter-attack unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) comprising a flight body and a flight control system supported about the flight body operable to facilitate flight of the UAV, and an aerial vehicle countermeasure supported by the flight body. The system can comprise an aerial vehicle detection system comprising at least one detection sensor operable to detect a target aerial vehicle while in-flight, and operable to provide command data to the counter-attack UAV to facilitate interception of the target aerial vehicle by the counter-attack UAV. Upon interception of the target aerial vehicle, the counter-attack UAV is operable to disrupt operation of the detected target aerial vehicle with the aerial vehicle capture countermeasure, thereby neutralizing the target aerial vehicle. The counter-attack UAV and systems may be autonomously operated. Associated systems and methods are provided.

Abstract: A system for neutralizing target aerial vehicles comprises a projectile launching mechanism that launches a projectile that supports a counter-attack unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) having an aerial vehicle countermeasure. The counter-attack UAV can be folded in the projectile, and operable to unfold when separated from the projectile. The system comprises an aerial vehicle detection system comprising a detection sensor that detects a target aerial vehicle. Upon detection, the projectile launching mechanisms launches the projectile, and the counter-attack UAV is thereafter separated from the projectile to operate in flight to neutralize the detected target aerial vehicle with the aerial vehicle countermeasure. The projectile launching mechanism can comprise a movable platform comprising a plurality of projectiles and counter-attack UAVs, and can comprise a detection sensor to detect target aerial vehicles.

Abstract: A robotic device is disclosed that can have a plurality of non-dedicated, smart control devices. Each smart control device can provide smart functionality to control an operational function of the robotic device. In addition, a robotic system is disclosed that can include a robotic device having a local non-dedicated, smart control device providing smart functionality to control an operational function of the robotic device. The robotic device can also include a remote control device to communicate operational information with the local smart control device to facilitate user control of the robotic device.

Abstract: A quasi-passive elastic actuator operable within a robotic system comprising a housing comprising an output member operable to couple to a first support member of a robotic system, a first vane device supported by the housing and comprising an input member operable to couple to a second support member of the robotic system, a second vane device coupled to the housing and interfaced with the first vane device, the first vane device and second vane device being rotatable relative to each other within the housing and defining, at least in part, a compression chamber and an expansion chamber. A valve assembly is located and operable at the joint of the robotic system, and is operable to switch the quasi-passive elastic actuator between an elastic state and an inelastic state, the valve assembly comprising a valve device disposed through an opening of the first vane device along an axis of rotation of the first vane device. The valve assembly defines, at least in part, a shunt circuit that facilitates fluid flow between the compression and expansion chambers through the valve assembly.

Abstract: A tunable actuator joint module of a robotic assembly comprises an output member and an input member, where the output member is rotatable about an axis of rotation. A primary actuator (e.g., a motor) is operable to apply a torque to rotate the output member about the axis of rotation. A quasi-passive elastic actuator (e.g., rotary or linear pneumatic actuator) comprising an elastic component is tunable to a joint stiffness value and is operable to selectively release stored energy to apply an augmented torque to assist rotation of the output member and to minimize power consumption of the primary actuator. The tunable actuator joint module comprises a control system having a valve assembly controllably operable to switch the quasi-passive elastic actuator between an elastic state and an inelastic state during respective portions of movement of the robotic assembly (e.g., a hip or knee joint of an exoskeleton). Associated systems and methods are provided.

Abstract: A walk-about platform in support of an exoskeleton is provided. The walk-about platform can include a conveyance system operable to facilitate movement of the walk-about platform about a ground surface. The conveyance system can comprise a plurality of rollers, and at least one actuator operable to actuate one or more of the plurality of rollers to facilitate the movement of the walk-about platform about the ground surface. A bi-pedal locomotion zone can be defined, at least in part, by the plurality of rollers. The bi-pedal locomotion zone can provide clearance for bi-pedal locomotion of an operator donning the exoskeleton. The at least one actuator actuates the one or more of the plurality of rollers based on the bi-pedal locomotion of the operator donning the exoskeleton.
