Abstract: A landing platform for an unmanned aerial vehicle, including a plurality of substantially funnel-shaped centering housings configured to cooperate with a corresponding plurality of projections of the aerial vehicle for reaching a predetermined landing position. The platform can include a mechanism for recharging the battery of the aerial vehicle and/or with an arrangement for serial data transfer.

Abstract: A system for managing QoS provided to user equipment included in an unmanned autonomous vehicle (UAV) by a wireless communication system comprising base stations, each providing radio coverage over a corresponding cell. The system comprises one or more computing devices to execute: a setup module to receive data identifying a predetermined path, and send a request of allocating dedicated radio resources for wireless links, the requested dedicated radio resources being expected sufficient to guarantee a QoS not lower than a predefined QoS value, and a QoS verify module to receive QoS data indicative of measured QoS and position data indicative of an actual position of the UAV during traveling, and verify whether the QoS actually during travelling is not lower than the predefined QoS value of the received QoS data and verify whether an actual path followed by the UAV corresponds to the predetermined path of the received position data.

Abstract: A docking system and method for charging a mobile robot at a docking station. The system includes a first module for the robot, including a first communication unit and a first control unit, and a second module for the station, including a second communication unit, one or more docking sensors, and a second control unit. When the robot enters a docking region around the station, the first communication unit sends to the second communication unit a status message indicating that the robot needs charging; upon reception of the status message, the second control unit uses the sensors to derive a traction command to drive the robot towards the station; and the second communication unit sends to the first communication unit a command message containing the traction command. The first control unit processes the traction command and uses it to operate traction motors of the robot.

Abstract: A system is provided, comprising an automatic drive system connected to a communication network and configured to drive flying unmanned autonomous vehicles by exchanging messages and commands with the unmanned autonomous vehicles exploiting a communication link between the communication network and unmanned autonomous vehicles. The system further comprises a terminator network different from the communication network, the terminator network comprising terminator units deployed across a geographic area, each terminator unit configured to exchange messages and commands with unmanned autonomous vehicles located in a respective terminator unit coverage area within the geographic area through a first additional communication link, each terminator unit configured to send flight termination commands to selected unmanned autonomous vehicles through the first additional communication link, and each unmanned autonomous vehicle configured to execute a flight termination procedure in response to the reception of the termination command, the first additional communication link being different from the communication link.
