    Abstract: The disclosure describes an automated aerial vehicle (AAV) and system for automatically detecting a contact or an imminent contact between a propeller of the AAV and an object (e.g., human, pet, or other animal). When a contact or an imminent contact is detected, a safety profile may be executed to reduce or avoid any potential harm to the object and/or the AAV. For example, if a contact with a propeller of the AAV by an object is detected, the rotation of the propeller may be stopped to avoid harming the object. Likewise, an object detection component may be used to detect an object that is nearing a propeller, stop the rotation of the propeller, and/or navigate the AAV away from the detected object.

    Abstract translation: 本公开描述了一种自动航空器(AAV)和系统,用于自动检测AAV的推进器与物体(例如人,宠物或其他动物)之间的接触或即将接触。 当检测到接触或即将发生的接触时,可以执行安全简档以减少或避免对物体和/或AAV的任何潜在危害。 例如,如果检测到与物体的AAV的螺旋桨的接触,则可以停止螺旋桨的旋转,以避免对物体造成伤害。 类似地,物体检测部件也可用于检测靠近螺旋桨的物体,停止螺旋桨的旋转和/或导航AAV远离检测到的物体。
