摘要: Systems and methods related to landing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are provided. In one example, a method includes receiving a UAV on a surface of a landing platform. The method may further include operating a positioning device disposed under the surface to locate the UAV. The method may further include operating the positioning device to move the UAV to a location and/or an orientation on the surface. The UAV may comprise landing gear having a plurality of legs, where each leg comprises a shock absorption system. The method may further include operating the shock absorption system during the receiving operation to reduce force received at stress areas of the UAV, and after the receiving operation, operating the shock absorption system to dampen movement by the UAV. Related devices and systems are also provided.

摘要: High resolution object detection systems and methods provide accurate, real-time, one-stage processing, and include a backbone network configured to receive an input image and generate multi-scale feature representations, a feature fusion block configured to fuse the multi-sale feature representations, a plurality of representation transfer modules configured to isolate and decouple sub-task networks and the multi-scale feature representations, and a cascade refinement module configured to process each representation transfer module output to refine predictions. The backbone network generates a plurality of image features corresponding to each of a plurality of image scales and includes a plurality of convolutional layers and a stem block after the first convolutional layer, wherein the stem block improves feature extraction performance. The feature fusion block generates feature outputs for each of a plurality of image scales.

摘要: An unmanned vehicle (UV) navigation system is provided. The UV navigation system comprises a processor, a communication interface for communicating with a remote station, and a non-transitory memory device storing machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to navigate the UV. The processor is configured to receive data from sensors, camera or data line for UV processor analysis, determine that a link-free trigger event has occurred, and autonomously navigate the UV in response to the trigger event.

摘要: An unmanned vehicle (UV) is provided for transmitting data to a payload device connected to the UV. The UV comprises a processor configured to control operations of the UV, a first and a second communication interface for connecting to a payload device, a third communication interface for communicating with a remote station, and a non-transitory memory device storing instructions configured to cause the processor to to receive and transmit data. The processor is configured to receive one or more data packets through the third communication interface from the remote station, transmit the one or more data packets to the payload device through the first communication interface when the one or more data packets are designated for the first communication interface, and transmit the one or more data packets to the payload device through the second communication interface when the one or more data packets are designated for the second communication interface.
