摘要： Methods, systems, and apparatus for drone landing ground station. A method includes determining that a drone is landing on a ground station, based on determining that the drone is landing on the ground station, determining a magnetic field to generate at a first magnetic component at a first position in the ground station and an opposing magnetic polar at a second magnetic component at a second position in the ground station, and generating the magnetic field at the first magnetic component and the opposing magnetic field at the second magnetic component.

摘要： Dispatch of drones is disclosed. Example drone dispatching methods include transmitting a flight plan for a drone to a flight control platform associated with first operator for piloting the drone. The flight plan is based on a first location associated with a service request. In response to receiving a message from the flight control platform, a first communication session between the flight control platform and a flight control unit of the drone is initiated to permit remote piloting of the drone. A drone observation platform associated with a second operator is selected based on a subject matter qualification associated with the second operator and descriptive information included in the service request. A second communication session between the flight control platform and the drone observation platform is initiated for remote piloting of the drone.

摘要： A method for controlling a landing gear of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes detecting whether a relative-to-ground height of the UAV is greater than a height threshold, where the relative-to-ground height is a vertical height of the UAV with respect to an object; and in response to the relative-to-ground height being not greater than the height threshold and the UAV having not lowered the landing gear, adjusting the relative-to-ground height to the height threshold or above, and lowering the landing gear.

摘要： A system and method for detection and identification of an Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) employs a radar system to detect and identify the UAS based on the rich Doppler spectrum generated by one or more rotors and associated motors onboard the UAS. UAS have a low radar cross sections (RCS), relatively low speed, and possess a unique Doppler signature providing data for the system to discriminate once the system detects the quadcopter UAS. The system and method functions as a traditional radar, yet analyzes the micro-Doppler signature, including the RCS and radial speed, to detect and identify the UAS. Based on the signature analysis, the system and method are able to distinguish one model from other types of UAS.

摘要： Detection of a launch event of an autonomous vehicle may consider input from a variety of sensors, including acceleration sensors and touch sensors In some aspects, a method includes receiving a first input from a touch sensor, receiving a second input from an accelerometer, determining whether a launch of the autonomous vehicle is detected based on the first input and the second input, and controlling the autonomous vehicle in response to the determining. In some aspects, when a launch is detected, a motor of the autonomous vehicle may be energized. By detecting a launch event in this manner, improved safety and reliability may be realized. A reduced occurrence of false positive launch events may reduce a risk that the motor of the autonomous vehicle is energized when the vehicle has not actually been launched.
