Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method of managing a fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is provided. A fleet management computing system receives telemetry information from a plurality of UAVs. The fleet management computing system generates a map interface having a plurality of UAV icons based on the telemetry information. The fleet management computing system receives a selection of an initial group of UAV icons via the map interface, wherein the initial group of UAV icons includes two or more UAV icons. The fleet management computing system receives a de-selection of one or more UAV icons from the initial group of UAV icons to create a final selected group of UAV icons. The fleet management computing system transmits a command to UAVs associated with the UAV icons of the final selected group of UAV icons.

Abstract: A materials handling vehicle receives a wirelessly communicated performance tuning profile, and responsive thereto, adjusts at least one operating capability. The performance tuning profile can be updated dynamically as the materials handling vehicle is operated in a work environment based upon a number of different factors including operational, operator, environmental, other, or combinations thereof. Additional aspects provide a graphical user interface that allows an individual such as a supervisor to create a library of performance tuning profiles, and create and/or program a rules engine to automatically convey an appropriate performance tuning profile to a corresponding materials handling vehicle responsive to detecting a corresponding event associated with a programmed rule.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to using anomaly data detected in traffic data to efficiently initiate remote assistance sessions. In particular, a computing system can receive, from a computing device associated with a human-driven vehicle, travel data for the human-driven vehicle. The computer system can identify a navigation anomaly associated with the human-driven vehicle based on the travel data. The computer system can generate, based on the identified navigation anomaly, an anomaly entry for storage in an anomaly database, the anomaly entry comprising geofence data describing a geographic area associated with the navigation anomaly. The computer system can determine, based on location data received from an autonomous vehicle and the geofence data, that the autonomous vehicle is entering the geographic area associated with the navigation anomaly. The computer system can initiate a remote assistance session with the autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling a group of aerial vehicles to meet a connectivity service objective are provided. A method may include causing aerial vehicles in the group to arrive at a target service area during a given arrival time window associated with the connectivity service objective, which may indicate a desired probability of service coverage of the target service area. The method further includes calculating a probability of service coverage of the target service area for the vehicles for a time period after the vehicles are expected to arrive at the target service area, determining whether the probability of service coverage meets a threshold, and causing the vehicles to operate according to a station seeking flight policy during the time period.
