Abstract: Technology is described for controlling a heterogeneous sensor node network. The method can include obtaining sensor data from a plurality of sensors which include a plurality of sensor modalities in sensor nodes. The sensor data may be combined in a joint feature space that represents multimodal input. Another operation may be detecting features from the sensor data using the joint feature space. Neighboring sensor nodes may be identified to receive the features. A further operation may be sending the features to other sensor nodes in a sensor node network.

Abstract: A solar panel mount that retains a solar panel in an installed position. The solar panel mount can include a panel rest having a seating surface for the solar panel. The solar panel mount can further have a first support structure defining a first retaining channel positioned to receive a first edge of the solar panel in an installed position. The solar panel mount can further include second support structure defining a second retaining channel. The first and second retaining channels can be spatially positioned apart from each other at a distance greater than a length of the solar panel such that the first and second retaining channels are positioned to receive respective first and second edges of the solar panel to secure the solar panel in the installed position.

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.

Abstract: A system for neutralization of a target aerial vehicle comprises a plurality of counter-attack unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and an aerial vehicle detection system comprising at least one detection sensor operable to detect the target aerial vehicle in flight. The system also comprises an aerial vehicle capture countermeasure in the form of a net tethering the plurality of counter-attack UAVs to one another. The counter-attack UAV(s) are operable to capture and neutralize the target aerial vehicle with the net. The system can comprise at least one net storage device associated with a structure and configured to store at least a portion of the net when in a stowed position, and to facilitate deployment of the net when moved to a deployed position via coordinated flight of the plurality of counter-attack UAVs based on the detected target aerial vehicle.

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.
