Abstract: An example method carried out by an uncrewed vehicle (UV) is disclosed. The method may involve establishing a wireless cellular connection with a wireless cellular network via a wireless cellular communications interface of the UV. The wireless cellular network may be communicatively connected with one or more data servers via a data backhaul network. The example method may further involve exchanging operational data between the one or more data servers and a data storage device of the UV via the wireless cellular connection with the wireless cellular network, establishing a wireless local area network (WLAN) network connection with one or more uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) via a WLAN communications interface of the UV, and exchanging the operational data between the data storage device and at least one of the one or more UAVs over the WLAN network connection.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a mobile computing device comprising one or more processors, a display, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium is provided. The computer-readable medium has logic stored thereon that, in response to execution by the one or more processors, causes the mobile computing device to perform actions comprising: determining, by the mobile computing device, a location associated with flight plan information; transmitting, by the mobile computing device, the location to a restriction management system; receiving, by the mobile computing device from the restriction management system, information for presenting a checklist including checklist items indicating statuses of flight restriction conditions associated with the location; generating, by the mobile computing device, an interface having a format based on whether all checklist items are passed, wherein the interface includes a map, a pin, and a checklist; and presenting, by the mobile computing device, the interface on the display.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a client-facing application for interacting with a transport service that transports items via unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). An example graphic interface may allow a user to order items to specific delivery areas associated with their larger delivery location, and may dynamically provide status updates and other functionality during the process of fulfilling an aerial vehicle transport request.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to a method of dynamically updating a transport task of a UAV. The method includes receiving, at a transport-provider computing system, an item provider request for transportation of a plurality of packages from a loading location at a given future time. The method also includes assigning, by the transport-provider computing system, a respective transport task to each of a plurality of UAVs, where the respective transport task comprises an instruction to deploy to the loading location to pick up one or more of the plurality of packages. Further, the method includes identifying, by the transport-provider system, a first package while or after a first UAV picks up the first package. Yet further, the method includes based on the identifying of the first package, providing, by the transport-provider system, a task update to the first UAV to update the respective transport task of the first UAV.

Abstract: A technique for operating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a terminal area from which the UAVs are staged includes charging a plurality of the UAVs on charging pads disposed in a staging array at the terminal area. Merchant facilities for preparing packages for delivery by the UAVs are disposed about a periphery of the staging array. The UAVs are relocated under their own propulsion from interior charging pads to peripheral loading pads of the staging array as the peripheral loading pads become available and the UAVs are deemed sufficiently charged and ready for delivery missions.

The UAVs are relocated under their own propulsion from interior charging pads to peripheral loading pads of the staging array as the peripheral loading pads become available and the UAVs are deemed sufficiently charged and ready for delivery missions.
