摘要: A remote control unit of an unmanned vehicle comprises a first communications subsystem, a processor, and a graphics processor. The first communications subsystem may be operable to receive sensor data via a first communication link between the remote control unit and the unmanned vehicle. The processor may be operable to determine a position and orientation of the unmanned vehicle based on the sensor data. The first communication subsystem may be operable to receive, via a second communication link between the remote control unit and the unmanned vehicle, a live first-person view from a camera of the unmanned vehicle. The graphics processor may be operable to generate a virtual first-person view from apriori data based on the sensor data. The processor may be operable to determine whether to present said live first-person view or said virtual first-person view based on signal quality of said second communication link.

摘要: A remotely operated vehicle (“ROV”) camera apparatus is disclosed. An ROV includes an anchor housing connected to a body of the ROV. The anchor housing includes a first magnet. The ROV also includes a camera connection housing configured to be rotatably connected to the anchor housing. The camera connection housing includes a connector cup configured to contact the anchor housing, a second magnet located inside the connector cup, the second magnet configured to magnetically couple to the first magnet, and a motor assembly including a motor configured to rotate a drive shaft, the drive shaft being connected to the magnet plate. The ROV further includes a camera device mechanically coupled to the camera connection housing. Actuation of the motor causes the connector cup to rotate with respect to the anchor housing causing the camera device to rotate.

摘要: A system and method are provided to support accommodating safe integration of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUASs) into the National Airspace Structure in the United States and to augment previously untracked aircraft positions by opportunistically acquiring their position information and forwarding this information to other systems for display. The disclosed schemes integrate automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) capabilities in sUASs by providing an ADS-B receiver on the small unmanned aircraft or in association with a ground-based sUAS control and communication workstation. Processing of the ADS-B information is integrated with processing of acquired information on sUAS aerial platform operations. Processed integrated information is displayed locally on the workstation and transmitted to other facilities to be remotely displayed. Acquired position information for the sUAS aerial platform and manned aerial vehicles in a vicinity of the sUAS aerial platform are converted to formats commonly used by air traffic control systems.

摘要: A method for operating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is performed by a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal displays an image transmission interface on a touchscreen of the mobile terminal, the image transmission interface including a picture taken by the UAV that is wirelessly connected to the mobile terminal. After detecting a touch control signal applied on the touchscreen, the mobile terminal acquires an operation gesture according to the touch control signal and generating a corresponding operation command according to the operation gesture and a current control mode of the image transmission interface. Finally, the mobile terminal sends the operation command to the UAV. The UAV then performs a predefined operation according to the operation command.

摘要: A controller system of an aerial vehicle may receive environmental data from one or more sensors of the aerial vehicle and adjusts limits of the aerial vehicle given the environmental conditions. When the aerial vehicle receives an input, such as a flight input from a remote controller or an environmental input such as a gust of wind, the controller system calculates appropriate motor inputs that are provided to the thrust motors of the aerial vehicle such that the adjusted limits of the aerial vehicle are not exceeded. In calculating the appropriate input to the thrust motors, the controller system performs an iterative process. For example, for a given maximum torque that can be applied to the thrust motors, the controller system iteratively allocates the torque such that torque components that are important for the stability of the aerial are first fulfilled, whereas subsequent torque components may be fulfilled or scaled back.

摘要: The disclosure relates to drone user equipment (UE) indications that may be conveyed to a wireless network. In particular, a UE that has flight capabilities (i.e., capabilities to operate as an unmanned aircraft system) and optional further capabilities to report a current height level may indicate such capabilities to the wireless network. As such, the wireless network may differentiate the drone UE from other UEs that only operate on the ground. Furthermore, the optional current height level may enable the wireless network to differentiate among drone UEs operating at different heights and/or from other UEs that are operating on the ground. The wireless network may further use the information indicating the flight capabilities either alone or in combination with the optional height information to configure power control parameters, manage interference, provide mobility management functions, generate neighbor lists, control beamforming, or implement a radio resource configuration or management procedure.

摘要: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to intelligent drone traffic management via a radio access network (“RAN”). As disclosed herein, a RAN node, such as an eNodeB, can receive, from a drone, a flight configuration. The flight configuration can include a drone ID and a drone route. The RAN node can determine whether capacity is available in an airspace associated with the RAN node. In response to determining that capacity is available in the airspace associated with the RAN node, the RAN node can add the drone ID to a queue of drones awaiting use of the airspace associated with the RAN node. When the drone ID is next in the queue of drones awaiting use of the airspace associated with the RAN node, the RAN node can instruct the drone to fly through at least a portion of the airspace in accordance with the drone route.
