摘要： Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) mount with a base station, also known as Flying Base Station (FBS) has garnered considerable attention for 5G and beyond communication. This invention provides a method and system for deploying a swarm of FBSs over a geographical region autonomously. The proposed 3-D deployment technique exhibit how to place a minimum number of FBSs energy efficiently over a region to offer guaranteed QoS without inter-UAV interference and UAV capacity limit violations. A Master-Slave coordination technique is revealed to maintain inter-FBS synchronization to avoid collisions during the transition. The technique for selecting intermediate hop coordinates is proclaimed under path planning.

摘要： An unmanned system maneuver controller (USMC) includes an inertial navigation system (INS) for state estimation of the USMC in three-dimensional (3D) space, a communications device configured to communicate with an unmanned system, and a processor configured to receive, via the communications device, flight, maneuver, or dive data from the unmanned system, and generate flight, maneuver, or dive control instructions based at least on the flight, maneuver, or dive data and data received from the INS. The flight, maneuver, or dive control instructions are configured to pilot the unmanned system based on movement of the USMC in 3D space. A remote may selectively control an operation of the USMC. The USMC may be mounted to a weapon or observation device, such that movement of the weapon or observation device in 3D space controls a movement of the unmanned system. Additional systems and associated methods are also provided.

摘要： A spherical drone and a control method thereof relate to a field of drones. The spherical drone includes a main shell defines an accommodating space, an inner support arranged in the accommodating space, a main control board, a power supply, a motor, a fixing shaft, an upper blade and an lower blade rotatably arranged on the fixing shaft, and a first crown gear and a second crown gear arranged on the inner support. Slotted holes are defined on the main shell. The first crown gear and the second crown gear are sleeved on the fixing shaft. The upper blade is fixed on the first crown gear. The lower blade is fixed on the second crown gear. The motor drives the first crown gear and the second crown gear to rotate, so as to simultaneously drive the upper blade and the lower blade to rotate.
