Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) comprises a central body, a plurality of arms that extend out from the central body, and a plurality of rotors. Each arm has one or more joints that segment the arm into a stem portion proximal to the central body and one or more branch portions distal to the central body. The one or more joints permit the one or more branch portions to move horizontally relative to the stem portion between an extended state and a compacted state. The one or more branch portions are arranged substantially parallel to a perimeter edge of the central body in the compacted state. Each rotor in the plurality is attached to the one or more branch portions.

Abstract: Systems and methods can determine a liquid flow in a spraying system. An amount of liquid that is output from the spraying system during a pump cycle is determined. A number of pump cycles that occur within a given amount of time are measured. The number of pump cycles are measured using an electronic speed controller (ESC). Additionally, the ESC indicates the number of pump cycles within a given amount of time within a threshold of precision. The amount of liquid flow in the spraying system is calculated based on the measured number of pump cycles and the determined amount of liquid that is output from the spraying system.
