Abstract: A robotic system comprising a master robotic system, and a first robotic system comprising a first mobile platform operable to move about a surface, and comprising a first manipulator. The robotic system can comprise a second robotic system comprising a second mobile platform operable to move about the surface, and comprising a second manipulator. A control module can be associated with the master robotic system and the first and second robotic systems, and can be operable in a paired control mode to facilitate paired control of the first and second robotic systems to move about the ground surface, and operable in an unpaired control mode to facilitate non-paired control of a selected one of the first or second robotic systems.

Abstract: An exoskeleton operable in a safety mode comprises a plurality of support structures, and at least one joint mechanism rotatably coupling two of the plurality of support structures and a plurality of sensors associated with the at least one joint mechanism. The exoskeleton comprises a controller configured to generate a plurality of command signals according to a plurality of respective control policies, and configured to generate each command signal based on sensor output data from at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors, and configured to control operation of the at least one joint mechanism according to a selected control policy, of the plurality of control policies, based on at least one of an identified discrepancy between at least some of the plurality of command signals or a determination whether each of the plurality of sensors satisfies at least one self-test defined criterion or a comparison criterion between the output signal of two or more sensors of the plurality of sensors, or both of these.

Abstract: An exoskeleton comprising a plurality of support structures, and a plurality of joint mechanisms each joint mechanism rotatably coupling at least two of the plurality of support structures. A sensor suite discrepancy detection system can be operable to interrogate the suite of sensors within the exoskeleton, and can comprise a plurality of sensor groups, each associated with a respective joint mechanism, and each comprising a plurality of sensors from a suite of sensors. A controller can be configured to recruit at least one substitute sensor from a first sensor group of based on an identified discrepancy between the sensor output data of at least two sensors within the first sensor group and a target sensor within the first sensor group, and to execute a remedial measure associated with a safety mode of the exoskeleton for safe operation of the exoskeleton.

Abstract: An exoskeleton operable to prevent unsafe operation can comprise a plurality of joint mechanisms and a plurality of sensors comprising configured to generate sensor output data associated with at least two joint mechanisms. The exoskeleton can comprise a controller configured to receive the sensor output data; combine the sensor output data; and determine whether the combination of the sensor output data from the first and second sensors satisfies an error condition in relation to at least one defined criterion. The existence of an error condition can be indicative of an anomalous operating state of the exoskeleton, such as a malfunction or an (impending) anomalous kinematic movement. The controller can also combine command signals to be transmitted to two or more joint mechanisms to determine another anomalous operating state to prevent unsafe operation. Associated software and methods are provided.

Abstract: A stiffening element to provide variable resistance to movement between a pair of members at a joint. The stiffening element comprises a filler with particles flowable in a bladder. A pressure source is coupled to the bladder to vary a pressure within the bladder and collapse the bladder. Collapsing the bladder varies a flow characteristic of the filler within the bladder, Varying the flow characteristics of the filler varies resistance of the bladder to movement of the bladder, and thus a pair of movable members and the joint.

Abstract: A system for neutralization of a target aerial vehicle comprises one or more counter-attack unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and an aerial vehicle capture countermeasure tethering the counter-attack UAV(s) to a structure or ground. The counter-attack UAV(s) are operable to capture and neutralize the target aerial vehicle with the aerial vehicle capture countermeasure (e.g., a net). The system can comprise an on-board aerial vehicle detection system, and/or an external aerial vehicle detection system each having at least one sensor configured to detect the target aerial vehicle while in flight. The counter-attack UAV(s) and the associated detection systems may be autonomously operated for detecting and neutralizing a target aerial vehicle. The aerial vehicle capture countermeasure can be moved from a stowed position to a deployed position in response to coordinated flight of the counter-attack UAV(s). Associated methods and systems are provided.

Abstract: A walk-about exoskeleton system can comprise an exoskeleton and a walk-about platform in support of the exoskeleton. The walk-about platform can be maneuverable about a ground surface. The walk-about platform can comprise a conveyance system operable with the walk-about platform. The conveyance system can be operable to facilitate movement of the walk-about platform about the ground surface. The walk-about platform can also comprise a bi-pedal locomotion zone defined, at least in part, by the walk-about platform. The bi-pedal locomotion zone can provide clearance for bi-pedal locomotion of an operator donning the exoskeleton.
