摘要： A modular housing structure for housing a plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) includes a plurality of housing segments and a plurality of landing pads. The plurality of housing segments are shaped to mechanically join together to define an interior of the modular housing structure. The individual housing segments have a common structural shape that repeats when assembled to form the modular housing structure. The plurality of landing pads are positioned within the individual housing segments, each of the landing pads sized to physically support and charge a corresponding one of the UAVs.

摘要： A system for housing a drone for inspecting a section of electrical grid includes a nest connected to a power supply and positioned on a powerline structure. The nest can be configured to house a drone; charge the drone while the drone is housed; and receive an alert from a server, the alert indicating a geolocation of a detected radio frequency (RF) event. The system can also include a drone. The drone can include at least one RF sensor and can be configured to, in response to the alert being received by the nest, autonomously travel to the geolocation; perform RF measurements via the at least one RF sensor at the geolocation; upload the RF measurements to the server; and return to the nest.

摘要： A delivery drone includes an airframe, a drive module joined to the airframe, a storage module joined the drive module and a plurality of motors joined to the airframe. The storage module includes a housing defining an internal cavity in which a parcel may be situated. The delivery drone is selectively navigable between and dockable with a logistics tower and a drone port mounted to a residential or commercial structure. A drone loader is situated in a secondary vertical shaft of the logistics tower and includes a plurality of drone docks, each drone dock being engageable with a delivery drone. The logistics tower includes a plurality of tower drone ports through which the delivery drones traverse to access the elevator shafts and the secondary vertical shafts of the logistics tower.
