    摘要: A method for coordinating drones flying in a divided airspace that includes sending patrol instructions to each drone of a set of airborne drones in a divided airspace, where the divided airspace includes mutually exclusive horizontal layers having a ceiling altitude and a floor altitude and at least one transition space layer, where the layers comprise sectors, where the patrol instructions direct the drone into a flight path in a sector, sending first transition instructions to a first drone, where the transition instructions direct the first drone to move from its sector to a transition space layer and from the transition space layer to exit the divided airspace, sending second transition instructions to a second drone, where the second transition instructions direct the second drone to move from outside the divided airspace to a transition space layer and from the transition space layer to the sector of the first drone.

    摘要: An autonomous transportation network (10) and method (100a, 100b, 100c) of operation is disclosed. The autonomous transportation network (10) comprises a plurality of autonomous vehicles (20) with an onboard processor (27) and vehicle memory (28) for locally calculating (240, 310) a route (50) between an origin (30) and a destination (40) and a vehicle antenna (25) for transmitting the calculated route (50). A control management center (100) comprises a control management processor (120) and a central memory (140) and independently calculates (250, 520) the routes (50) of the plurality of autonomous vehicles (20). A plurality of beacons (17) is connected to the control management center (100) and receives redirection information from the control management center (100) for transmission to one or more of the plurality of autonomous vehicles (20).

    摘要: A control network for supporting one or more mobile robots operable in a facility includes: a fleet management system authorized to perform path planning and path execution for the mobile robots; and a network management system authorized to configure and perform resource allocation in an access network, which is operable to provide the mobile robots with wireless connectivity in the facility. The respective authorities of the FMS and NMS are mutually exclusive, and the FMS is configured to generate, on the basis of the path planning, a predictive network resource request and share this with the NMS. A vertical application layer server is configured to generate a network resource request which specifies a future location of said one or more VAL UEs. A network resource management server is configured to generate a QoS forecast for one or more VAL UEs.

    摘要: A server that manages a plurality of moving objects, the server includes a processor configured to: determine an operation plan for each of the moving objects, and instruct each of the moving objects to operate according to the determined operation plan, the operation plan including a plan regarding energy replenishment for operation, determine based on the operation plan whether a conflict is going to occur, the conflict being two or more of the moving objects being replenished with energy at a same location at a same timing, and when determination is made that the conflict is going to occur, change the operation plan of at least one of the conflicting moving objects in such a manner that the conflict is avoided.
