    Abstract: An aircraft for unmanned aviation is described. The aircraft includes an airframe, a pair of fins attached to a rear portion of the airframe, a pair of dihedral braces attached to a bottom portion of the airframe, a first thrust-vectoring (“T/V”) module and a second T/V module, and an electronics module. The electronics module provides commands to the two T/V modules. The two T/V modules are configured to provide lateral and longitudinal control to the aircraft by directly controlling a thrust vector for each of the pitch, the roll, and the yaw of the aircraft. The use of directly articulated electrical motors as T/V modules enables the aircraft to execute tight-radius turns over a wide range of airspeeds.

    Abstract: Technology segments an input flight path into segments based on terrain data, identifies target altitude heights of endpoints of the segments based on the terrain data and a target cruise altitude of an aircraft, identifies local maximas associated with the segments that are arranged in an order along the input flight path, identifies one or more local maximas of the local maximas that represent a dip in altitude from a previous one or more of the local maximas, removes the one or more local maximas from the plurality of local maximas to generate a reduced list of local maximas, sets a plurality of waypoints as the endpoints and the local maximas in the reduced list of local maximas, generates a flight path based at least in part on the plurality of waypoints, and causes the flight path to be provided to the at aircraft.

    Abstract: A method is provided for detecting and avoiding conflict along a current route of a robot. The method includes accessing a trajectory of the robot on the current route of the robot, and a predicted trajectory of a nearby moving object, and from the trajectory and predicted trajectory, detecting a conflict between the robot and the nearby moving object. Alternate routes for the robot are determined, each of which includes an alternative route segment offset from the current route, and a transition segment from the current route to the alternative route segment. Routes including the current and alternative routes are evaluated according to a cost metric, and a route from the routes is selected for use in at least one of guidance, navigation or control of the robot to avoid the conflict.
