    Abstract: A system of determining a flight path for an aerial vehicle, includes a memory storing a program code, and a processor configured to execute the program code to identify, during a flight, an abnormal state occurring at a first location, in response to the abnormal state, control the aerial vehicle to fly along a first flight path from the first location to a first destination, after the aerial vehicle arrives at the first destination, evaluate a status of the aerial vehicle at the first destination to obtain an evaluation result, and based on the evaluation result, determine a second flight path of the aerial vehicle to a second destination. The first flight path is a reverse of a last flight path of the aerial vehicle before the aerial vehicle reaches the first location.

    Abstract: Example computer-implemented methods and systems for anomaly-sensing based multi-agent navigation are disclosed. One example computer-implemented method includes: receiving relative distance data specifying distance between at least one pair of agents of a plurality of agents, each of a subset of the plurality of agents having an anomaly sensor subsystem; receiving anomaly data from at least one anomaly sensor subsystem of one of the plurality of agents; obtaining pre-surveyed map data; and determining global pose data of the plurality of agents based on the relative distance data and based on comparing the anomaly data to the pre-surveyed map data.

    Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to the present invention includes: a biometric information acquisition unit that acquires biometric information of a user at an arrival airport; a biometric matching unit that performs a matching process of the biometric information with registered biometric information of a registrant who deposited a baggage with the airline at a departure airport; and a guide unit that outputs guide information including a location of pickup in the arrival airport and a start time of pickup of the baggage associated with the registered biometric information to the user who is authenticated as the same person as the registrant by the matching process.

    Abstract: A system and method of tracking a hypersonic object over a flightpath includes at least one observer having at least one sensor. The sensor is configured to provide measurements of the hypersonic object that are geometrically diverse such that each observer may independently measure any combination of range, angles, Doppler, and angle rates. The observers transmit measurements to a processing unit as the hypersonic object undergoes three phases including a boost phase, a ballistic phase, and a hypersonic glide phase. The hypersonic object is tracked over many time steps by first selecting a dynamics model representative of expected object kinematics during said phase. Then, an unscented Kalman filter is used to predict a future state and a covariance using the dynamics model that was selected. Finally, the unscented Kalman filter updates the future state and covariance that were predicted based on the geometrically diverse measurements of the sensors.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for determining user movement direction are provided. In some embodiments, a method involves obtaining, using a control system, user acceleration data associated with a user. The method involves determining, using the control system, a movement period associated with a movement activity of the user using the user acceleration data, wherein the movement period indicates a duration between two sequential movements by the user. The method involves determining, using the control system, a movement direction corresponding to the movement activity using the user acceleration data based on a direction of acceleration orthogonal to the movement direction in which at least a portion of the user acceleration data is anti-periodic over a period of time corresponding to the movement period.

    Abstract: An energy-harvesting compute grid includes computing assemblies that cooperate with mobile energy harvesters configured to be deployed on a body of water. The plurality of energy harvesters are positioned on and move adjacent to an upper surface of a body of water, and the locations of the energy harvesters can be monitored and controlled. The wide-spread gathering by the harvesters of environmental data within that geospatial area permits the forecasting of environmental factors, the discovery of advantageous energy-harvesting opportunities, the observation and tracking of hazardous objects and conditions, the efficient distribution of data and/or tasks to and between the harvesters included in the compute grid, the efficient execution of logistical operations to support, upgrade, maintain, and repair the cluster, and the opportunity to execute data-gathering across an area much larger than that afforded by an individual harvester (e.g., radio astronomy, 3D tracking of and recording of the communication patterns of marine mammals, etc.). The computational tasks can be shared and distributed among a compute grid implemented in part by a collection of individual floating self-propelled energy harvesters thereby providing many benefits related to cost and efficiency that are unavailable to relatively isolated energy harvesters, and likewise unavailable to terrestrial compute grids of the prior art.
