摘要： A system for determining optimal paths without collision through a travel volume for a swarm of vehicles is disclosed. The system determines a travel path for the swarm leader vehicle using a minimal cost path derived from various measures of environmental cost for avoiding objects in traveling from leader location to target location. The system also determines, for each empty neighbor location of each follower vehicle, relational costs for follower vehicle travel relative to leader vehicle travel. The various measures of relational cost seek to maintain a prescribed positional relationship between each follower vehicle and the leader vehicle given the leader vehicle travel path. Based on various measures of environmental and relational cost, the system determines the best travel path for the each follower vehicle relative to the leader vehicle.

摘要： A method for autonomous in-flight transfer of a load from a first Aerial Vehicle, AV, to a second AV is provided. Each of the first AV and the second AV includes a frame with a vertical opening for receiving the load. A plurality of rotors are attached to the frame. The method comprising autonomously performing the following in-flight: fastening means of the first AV hold the load in the vertical opening of the first AV such that a bottom end of the load is accessible by the second AV; the second AV approaches the first AV from below in order to couple a fastening means of the second AV to the bottom end of the load; the fastening means of the first AV releases the load after the fastening means of the second AV couples to the bottom end of the load; and the fastening means of the second AV lower the load with respect to the frame of the second AV in order to move the load into a flight position.

摘要： The present invention relates to a system and a method for mobile landing of an unmanned vehicle. The method includes: detecting a landing target pattern by a three-dimensional sensing module and transmitting the landing target pattern to a calculation module, the landing target being a moving object; calculating, by the calculation module, a relative correction parameter of a guiding coordinate position of a return side relative to a coordinate position of the unmanned vehicle according to the landing target pattern and the guiding coordinate position of the return side; correcting, by the calculation module, the guiding coordinate position of the return side according to the relative correction parameter to obtain a corrected guiding coordinate position; then calculating, by the calculation module, a deviation value between the corrected guiding coordinate position and the coordinate position of the unmanned vehicle, and transmitting the deviation value to the vehicle side control module, and controlling, by the vehicle side control module, the unmanned vehicle to arrive at the return side according to the deviation value. The present invention thereby achieves a precise dynamic target landing.

摘要： A functionality utilizing a centrally controlled strategy for continuous communication to specific autonomous vehicles, or drones, that are designed for extreme conditions and assigned specific missions with the ability to be replaced during the mission. This functionality is an improvement on existing swarm and leader-follower tactics as it retains control of the drones at a central command center, allowing the drones to both receive individual commands from the hub but also operate independently of it with direct pilot control. This direct communication allows for real time process of ordered substitution to replace any drone during the mission.
