    Abstract: An aerial vehicle configured for operation within indoor spaces has a meshed construction with a housing defined by upper and lower sections having meshes provided above and below propellers and motors of the aerial vehicle. The aerial vehicle also includes a suite of sensors such as LIDAR sensors, time-of-flight sensors, cameras, ultrasonic sensors, or others. Meshes of the upper and lower sections include central openings along with spokes and concentric rings provided about the central openings. Meshes of the lower section have substantially larger central openings than meshes of the upper section, but feature more dense spokes or concentric rings beneath tips of the rotating propellers, which may be hinged or foldable in nature. Data captured by sensors of the aerial vehicle may be utilized for any purpose, such as to generate environment maps of an indoor space, or to monitor the indoor space for adverse conditions or events.

    Abstract: A video recording and communication device includes a camera, a processor, a radar sensor, and memory. The processor executes instructions from memory to cause the device to operate the sensor in a first operational mode in which the camera is maintained in a low-power mode. The processor further detects, using the sensor in the first mode, possible motion of an object within a threshold distance from the sensor. Responsive to the detecting, the processor transitions the sensor from the first mode to a second operational mode. The second mode consumes more power than the first mode. The processor determines, using the radar sensor in the second mode, that the possible motion of the object occurred in a region of interest, in response to which, it transitions the sensor from the second mode to a third operational mode. The third mode consumes more power mode than the second mode.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for generating location information associated with a video. For instance, an electronic device may use a radar sensor to generate radar data. The electronic device may then analyze the radar data in order to determine a location associated with an object. In some instances, the location may correspond to at least a first coordinate along a first axis and a second coordinate along a second axis. The electronic device may also generate image data using the imaging device. Additionally, the electronic device may analyze the image data in order to determine that the image data represents an object and/or a type of object. The electronic device may then generate location data representing an identifier for the object and the location. Next, the electronic device may send the image data and the location data to one or more computing devices.
