    摘要: An unmanned vehicle is configured to deliver packages or other payloads includes a first sensor, a second sensor, a third sensor, and a control circuit. The first sensor is configured to sense infrared energy, and the second sensor is configured to sense visible light viewable by a human observer. The third sensor is configured to sense radio frequency (RF) energy from a mobile wireless device. The control circuit is coupled to the first sensor, the second sensor, and the third sensor, and is configured to determine the presence of a human associated with the mobile wireless device using the sensed infrared energy, the sensed visible light, and the sensed RF energy.
