Abstract: Apparatus for controlling multi-rotor vehicle vibrations and related methods are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes a vibration level detector to determine a vibration level of a frame of a vehicle based on data received from a sensor of the vehicle, the vehicle including a rotor. The apparatus includes a rotor operation analyzer to determine an operational parameter of the rotor based on the vibration level. The apparatus includes a communicator to transmit an instruction including the operational parameter to a controller of the rotor.

Abstract: A multi-rotor vehicle includes a plurality of electric motors and edge computing systems (ECSs). The electric motors are operatively coupled to respective rotors, and cause the respective rotors to rotate relative to the airframe. The ECSs are independent, distinct and distributed to the electric motors, each operatively coupled to a respective electric motor and thereby a respective rotor. Each ECS is configured to acquire and process sensor data for the respective rotor to determine rotor status information, and execute motor commands to control the respective electric motor and thereby the respective rotor. The ECSs are configured according to a model in which any of the ECSs is selectable as a primary ECS, and others of the ECSs are operable as secondary ECSs, the secondary ECSs configured to communicate respective rotor status information to the primary ECS, and the primary ECS configured to provide the motor commands to the secondary ECSs.

Abstract: An aerospace wiring harness inspection system comprises a mobile personal computing device; a camera system connected to the mobile personal computing device, a machine learning model running in the mobile personal computing device; and a controller. The machine learning model is trained to detect anomalies in a set of images of a wiring harness in an aerospace vehicle. The controller configured to control the camera system to generate a set of images of the wiring harness; send the set of images of the wiring harness to the machine learning model; and receive a result from the machine learning model indicating whether an anomaly is present in the wiring harness.
