摘要: This disclosure relates to system and method for managing an insect swarm using a plurality of drones. The method includes detecting an insect swarm. The method may further include tracking a movement of the insect swarm. The method further includes communicating, with remaining of the plurality of drones, to dynamically align in a position based on the tracking so as to make a drone formation. The method further includes magnetizing, by at least some of the plurality of drones, one or more drone couplers for electromagnetically coupling the at least some of the plurality of drones with each other as per the drone formation. The method further includes casting, by each of the plurality of drones, a net to trap insects in the insect swarm. The method further includes supplying, by each of the plurality of drones, a high voltage to the net to decapacitate the insects.

摘要: A system and method for land management using a remote monitoring network including a plurality of sensor operation towers that utilize renewably sustained stationary and mobile sensors, including vertical takeoff and landing remotely piloted aircraft (VTOL RPA), that are autonomously launched, recovered, stored, and maintained by the sensor operation towers to autonomously and remotely acquire environmental, electro-optic, infrared, and light detection and ranging sensor data which is then organized via computer programs encoded on a storage medium and then communicated via a network in a manner that updates and enhances the short-term and long-term situational awareness and decision making capabilities of modern land management entities and thereby aids in land management practices.

摘要: A system for assisting formation flight, on board a follower aircraft, determines an estimated position of a wake vortex generated by a leader aircraft and inducing an upward airflow. The system determines a first trajectory, intended to be followed by the follower aircraft, as a trajectory for approaching and tracking the wake vortex, while remaining outside a potential discomfort window. The system determines a second trajectory corresponding to a phantom aircraft as if the follower aircraft is permanently in an optimal position relative to the wake vortex. The system assesses future overshoots of the phantom aircraft relative to maneuvering capabilities of the follower aircraft and to passenger comfort rules. The system possibly modifies the first trajectory as a function of the assessed overshoots.

摘要: A system for automated formation flight is disclosed. The system may include a formation commander sub-system including a task-based interface configured to receive a sequence of one or more task-based commands along with one or more sets of task-based options for each of the one or more task-based commands from an operator using one or more task-based selectable buttons of the task-based interface. The system may further include a formation manger sub-system communicatively coupled to the formation commander sub-system. Each vehicle of one or more vehicles within one or more teams may be configured to employ the formation manager sub-system. The formation manager sub-system may be configured to receive the one or more task-based commands along with the one or more sets of task-based options for each vehicle to perform.

摘要: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and control thereof to assemble into flexible, dynamic structures. A UAV includes a flexible screen retractable between extended and retracted positions, connector(s) for coupling to another UAV that can pull the flexible screen from a retracted position to an extended position, and a coupling portion for coupling to connector(s) of yet another UAV to connect to and extend a flexible screen thereof. Chain(s) of coupled UAVs with extended flexible screens thereof form a structure that can change shape and size based on UAV movement. Local wireless communication with a group control UAV facilitates coordinated positioning and control of a UAV group. A group control UAV with a power supply and an electrical conducting lead can power UAVs of a group while it and they are in-flight, and can perform real-time management of the group UAVs in forming and maintaining a desired shape of the structure.

摘要: A method for a multi-UAV formation to pass through a frame-shaped obstacle, includes: obtaining in real time distance between the frame-shaped obstacle and the UAV formation and displacement of the UAV formation during a flight process; constructing a relative position model between the frame-shaped obstacle and the UAV formation; constructing a UAV velocity control model; constructing a parameter model based on the distance, the displacement, and the relative position model; constructing a position estimation model of the frame-shaped obstacle and a relative position estimation model among the UAVs based on the parameter model; and designing, based on the constructed position estimation model, the relative position estimation model, and the UAV velocity control model, a controller for the UAV formation to pass through the obstacle, and controlling a flight velocity of the UAV formation through the controller to enable the UAV formation to pass through the frame-shaped obstacle.

摘要: A vehicle to transport a first drone and a second drone includes a controller. The controller is configured to release the first drone from the vehicle with instructions for the first drone to move a package container to a package container reception point. The controller is configured to release the second drone from the vehicle. The second drone is configured to provide data to the first drone. The data is related to a route from the vehicle to the package container reception point.

摘要: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for robot assistance are provided. A computer identifies a position of a first robot in an environment and a range of movement of an arm of the first robot. The computer generates an alignment plan for moving a first conveyor to be aligned with the first robot so that the first conveyor is engageable with the arm of the first robot within the range of movement of the arm. The first conveyor and the first robot include respective supports that are separate from each other. The computer transmits the alignment plan for execution so that the first conveyor is moved according to the alignment plan.
