摘要： Computerized systems and methods are disclosed, including a computer system that executes software that may receive a geographic location having one or more coordinates of a structure, receive a validation of the structure location, and generate unmanned aircraft information based on the one or more coordinates of the validated location. The unmanned aircraft information may include an offset from the walls of the structure to direct an unmanned aircraft to fly an autonomous flight path offset from the walls, and camera control information to direct a camera of the unmanned aircraft to capture images of the walls at a predetermined time interval while the unmanned aircraft is flying the flight path. The computer system may receive images of the walls captured by the camera while the unmanned aircraft is flying the autonomous flight path and generate a structure report based at least in part on the images.

摘要： An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has a multicopter section for flying in air with an attached blower section for generating an air stream for blowing dust off surfaces. A flight controller controls the multicopter section, a blower controller controls the blower section, and a power supply supplies power to the multicopter and blower sections. The flight controller and the blower controller are connected, and the blower controller is adapted to supply blower control commands to the flight controller to compensate for the thrust of the air stream from the blower section by flight control of the multicopter section. The UAV may be enclosed by a protective cage in the form of a meshed polyhedron, wherein the rods of the meshes are elastically connected at the respective nodes.

摘要： An introduced autonomous aerial vehicle can include multiple cameras for capturing images of a surrounding physical environment that are utilized for motion planning by an autonomous navigation system. In some embodiments, the cameras can be integrated into one or more rotor assemblies that house powered rotors to free up space within the body of the aerial vehicle. In an example embodiment, an aerial vehicle includes multiple upward-facing cameras and multiple downward-facing cameras with overlapping fields of view to enable stereoscopic computer vision in a plurality of directions around the aerial vehicle. Similar camera arrangements can also be implemented in fixed-wing aerial vehicles.

摘要： An aircraft including a wing system, a plurality of control surfaces, a camera mounted on a camera pod, and a control system. The camera pod is configured to vary the orientation of the camera field of view only in yaw, relative to the aircraft, between a directly forward-looking orientation and a side-looking orientation. The control system controls the control surfaces such that they induce a significant aircraft yaw causing an identified target to be within the field of view of the camera with the camera in the directly forward-looking orientation.

摘要： Techniques are described for developing and using applications and skills with autonomous vehicles. In some embodiments, a development platform is provided that enables access to a developer console for developing software modules for use with autonomous vehicles. For example, a developer can specify instructions for causing an autonomous vehicle to perform one or more operations. To control the behavior of an autonomous vehicle, the instructions can cause an executing computer system at the autonomous vehicle to generate calls to an application programming interface (API) associated with an autonomous navigation system of autonomous vehicle. Such calls to the API can be configured to adjust parameters of a behavioral objective associated with a trajectory generation process performed by the autonomous navigation system that controls the behavior of the autonomous vehicle. The instructions specified by the developer can be packaged as a software module that can be deployed for use at autonomous vehicle.
