Abstract: A method for detecting a fault in a solar panel in a solar farm is disclosed. In some examples, the method includes obtaining, by a computing system (106), a first image of the solar panel captured by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) (102) during a first flight and a second image of the solar panel captured by the UAV (102) during a second flight. In some examples, the method also includes determining, by the computing system (106), a first score for the solar panel based on the first image and determining a second score for the solar panel based on the second image. In some examples, the method further includes determining, by the computing system (106), whether the solar panel has the fault based on the first score and the second score and outputting an indication that the solar panel has the fault in response to determining that the solar panel has the fault.

Abstract: A voice router for a vehicle and a method for operating a voice router are provided. The voice router, for example, may include, but is not limited to, an interface configured to be coupled to a microphone and a plurality of subsystems of an aircraft, and a processor coupled to the interface, the processor configured to receive, from the microphone, voice command audio data, convert, using an avionic language model, the voice command audio data into voice command text data, determine, using a distribution model, whether a command corresponding to the voice command text data can be executed, transmitting, to at least one of the plurality of subsystems, instructions to execute the command when the voice router determines that the command can be executed, and providing, using the output system, feedback when the command is executed.

Abstract: A fixed-wing, fixed-rotor vertical-takeoff and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may include a fuselage extending from a fore portion to an aft portion and defining an upper section and a lower section, a first pair of airfoils fixedly attached to opposite sides of the fore portion of the fuselage, and a second pair of airfoils fixedly attached to opposite sides of the aft portion of the fuselage. The first pair of fixed airfoils may be offset relative to the second pair of fixed airfoils in the upper section-lower section direction. In some examples, the first pair of airfoils defines a first airfoil pair surface area different than a second airfoil pair surface area defined by the second pair of airfoils so the first and second pairs of airfoils generate lift that urges the VTOL UAV from a substantially vertical orientation during takeoff to a more horizontal orientation during flight.

Abstract: A computing system obtains a first infrared image of the structure captured by a first unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) at an image capture location. The image capture location is independent of the structure such that any change in a position of the structure does not change the image capture location. Additionally, the computing system obtains a second infrared image of the structure captured by the first UAV or a second UAV at the image capture location. The computing system determines, based on an angle between the beam from the laser as shown in the first image and the beam from the laser as shown in the second image, a score for the second infrared image. The computing system determines, based on the score for the second infrared image, whether a position of the structure has changed during a time interval between capture of the first infrared image and capture of the second infrared image.
