摘要: Embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of robot control, and in particular, to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) path planning method and apparatus and a UAV. The UAV path planning method includes: acquiring a depth map of an environment in front of a UAV; acquiring a grid map centered on a body of the UAV according to the depth map; determining candidate flight directions for the UAV according to the grid map; determining an optimal flight direction for the UAV from the candidate flight directions; and controlling the UAV to fly in the optimal flight direction to avoid an obstacle in the environment in front of the UAV. In this way, the embodiments of the present application can accurately determine an obstacle that suddenly appears in an unknown environment and a dynamic environment, so as to achieve real-time path planning.

摘要: System and graphical user interface for managing communications between a remote terminal device operated by a remote pilot or other operator and an uncrewed aircraft. Specifically, the systems described herein can be used for secure and reliable generation and transmission of a flight path or route by a ground station located remote from an uncrewed aircraft. Using the generation and transmission schemes described herein, the flight path may be reliably transmitted from the ground station to the uncrewed aircraft and execution of operations corresponding to the generated flight path may be controlled by a ground-based pilot having a valid authentication data stored on a removable media.

摘要: A craft comprises at least one hull; at least one wing configured to generate upwards aero lift as air flows past the at least one wing to facilitate wing-borne flight of the craft; a front hydrofoil connected to the at least one hull via a front hydrofoil strut and configured to generate upward hydrofoil lift as water flows past the front hydrofoil to facilitate hydrofoil-borne movement of the craft through the water; a rear hydrofoil connected to the at least one hull via a rear hydrofoil strut and configured to generate upward hydrofoil lift as water flows past the rear hydrofoil to facilitate hydrofoil-borne movement of the craft through the water; and a control system. While the craft is hydrofoil-borne, the control system is configured to facilitate transition of the craft from hydrofoil-borne operation to wing-borne operation via a process comprising: while the upwards aero lift generated by the at least one wing is below a threshold lift, controlling one or both of the front hydrofoil and the rear hydrofoil to generate a downward hydrofoil lift that causes the front hydrofoil and the rear hydrofoil to remain at least partially submerged in the water; and after the upwards aero lift generated by the at least one wing has increased above the threshold lift, transitioning the craft from hydrofoil-borne operation to wing-borne operation at least in part by controlling one or both of the front hydrofoil and the rear hydrofoil to switch from (a) generating the downward hydrofoil lift to (b) generating an upward hydrofoil lift that pushes the craft up and out of the water.

摘要: An unmanned aerial vehicle, including a camera, one or more sensors, one or more actuators, controllers, and a memory. The one or more sensors are configured to gather data. The one or more actuators are configured to control the aerial vehicle based on the data. The memory stores instructions. The instructions, when executed by one or more of the controllers, cause one or more of the controllers to determine an input of the unmanned aerial vehicle, generate one or more gain values based on the input, and change a gain value based on the input.

摘要: A request for transport services that identifies a rider, an origin, and a destination is received from a client device. Eligibility of the request to be serviced by a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft is determined based on the origin and the destination. The client device is sent an itinerary for servicing the transport request including a leg serviced by the VTOL aircraft. Confirmation is received that the rider has boarded the VTOL aircraft and determination made as to whether the VTOL aircraft should wait for additional riders. Instruction are sent to the VTOL aircraft to take-off if one or more conditions are met.

摘要: A method for controlling a UAV includes: receiving a takeoff control command, where the takeoff control command is used to control the UAV to take off; in response to the takeoff control command, when the UAV is not equipped with the safety protection device, prohibiting the UAV from taking off, and/or when the UAV is equipped with the safety protection device, controlling the UAV to take off. This method enhances the safety and usability of the UAV.
