摘要： A drone loaded with a package takes off from a takeoff device and uses a GPS system to fly to a user house that is a delivery destination of the package as the destination. Further, when the drone approaches the user house that is the destination, the flight of the drones is switched from autonomous navigation using the GPS system to remote control performed by a landing device and an in-house control device installed in the user house. The drone lands on the landing device by remote control from the landing device and the in-house control device, separates the package, and then returns to the warehouse using the GPS system and lands on the takeoff device.

摘要： Systems and methods for managing an inspection path of an unmanned inspection device. The method begins with generating a randomized time for a UAV inspection path using a randomizing time function. Next, predicted inspection path information is accessed for the randomized time of the UAV inspection path. An inspection path is generated for the randomized time based on the predicted inspection path information accessed. A UAV is programmed to traverse the inspection path. Before the UAV departs, the system confirms the current predicted inspection path information compared to one or more of the predicted inspection path information. In response, the current predicted inspection path information is with a threshold level of the predicted inspection path information or the predicted inspection path was last inspected more than a given time period, initiating operation of the UAV to traverse the inspection path, and otherwise, generating a new randomized time and new inspection path.

摘要： A damage identification (DI) system for identifying property damage may include a drone fleet including several autonomous or semi-autonomous drones communicatively coupled together and a DI computing device. Each drone may collect drone-collected damage data, including image data. The DI computing may assign a geographical region to the drone fleet. The drone fleet may automatically navigate to, and then within, the geographical region to detect potential damage to properties. The DI computing device may further receive drone-collected damage data associated with a property within the geographical region from the drone fleet when the drone fleet determines the property is actually or potentially damaged, generate aggregated damage data associated with the property based at least partially upon the drone-collected damage data, and/or store the aggregated damage data in a blockchain structure associated with the property for damage assessment of the property.

摘要： A method and apparatus for inspecting an aeronautical light using an aerial vehicle are disclosed. The method includes defining a first reference point based on a plurality of aeronautical lights installed on a runway surface, and defining a second reference point based on the first reference point, defining a flight path of the aerial vehicle taking off from the second reference point and heading to the first reference point, transmitting, to the ground, an image of the aeronautical lights photographed by the aerial vehicle, and inspecting and adjusting elevation angles of the aeronautical lights by analyzing the image of the aeronautical lights in real time.

摘要： In an approach for amplifying a mission critical workload to a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite using a booster drone, responsive to receiving a first request to amplify a mission critical workload to a LEO satellite, a processor initiates a targeted service instance. A processor obtains a level of mission criticality of the first request by mapping the first request against a registry of applications and a respective level of mission criticality of the applications. A processor selects a booster drone from a drone delivery station. A processor determines a first geo-location from where a satellite data communication needs to be initiated. A processor determines a second geo-location of the LEO satellite to where the satellite data communication needs to be pushed. A processor generates one or more signal strength requirements. A processor amplifies the mission critical workload according to the one or more generated signal strength requirements.

摘要： This disclosure relates to providing flight control for an unmanned aerial vehicle based on opposing fields of view with overlap. The UAV may include a housing, a motor, a first image sensor, a second image sensor, a first optical element having a first field of view greater than 180 degrees, a second optical element having a second field of view greater than 180 degrees, and one or more processors. The first optical element and the second optical element may be carried by the housing such that a centerline of the second field of view is substantially opposite from a centerline of the first field of view, and a peripheral portion of the first field of view and a peripheral portion of the second field of view overlap. Flight control for the UAV may be provided based on parallax disparity of an object within the overlapping fields of view.
