A method of simulating a quadcopter includes recording camera output for one or more video cameras under constant conditions and subtracting a constant signal from the recorded camera output to obtain a camera noise recording. Simulated camera noise is generated from the camera noise recording and is added to a plurality of simulated camera outputs of a quadcopter simulator to generate noise-added simulated camera outputs. The noise-added simulated camera outputs are sent to an Artificial Intelligence (AI) controller coupled to the quadcopter simulator for the AI controller to use to pilot a simulated quadcopter of the quadcopter simulator.

An autonomous cargo delivery aircraft operable to transition between thrust-borne lift in a VTOL orientation and wing-borne lift in a biplane orientation. The aircraft includes a fuselage having an aerodynamic shape with a leading edge, a trailing edge and first and second sides. First and second wings are coupled to the fuselage proximate the first and second sides, respectively. A distributed thrust array includes a first pair of propulsion assemblies coupled to the first wing and a second pair of propulsion assemblies coupled to the second wing. A flight control system is operably associated with the distributed thrust array and configured to independently control each of the propulsion assemblies. The first side of the fuselage includes a door configured to provide access to a cargo bay disposed within the fuselage from an exterior of the aircraft with a predetermined clearance relative to the first pair of propulsion assemblies.

A remote controller for controlling a movable device, such as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is provided. The remote controller includes a handheld portion. A top portion of the handheld portion extends from the handheld portion at an angle. The top portion extends further forward than a remainder of the handheld portion. The remote controller further includes a first control component on a first side of the top portion and a second control component on a rear side of the top portion. The first control component is configured to control a gimbal of the UAV or a load carried by the UAV. The rear side is adjacent to the first side. The second control component is configured to control movement of the UAV.

An agricultural system with an agricultural harvester has a terahertz sensor. The terahertz sensor includes at least one a terahertz source disposed to direct electromagnetic radiation toward a harvest material of the agricultural harvester. A terahertz detector is disposed to detect the terahertz electromagnetic radiation after the terahertz electromagnetic radiation interacts with the harvest material. A controller is operably coupled to the terahertz detector and is configured to detect a harvest-related parameter based on a signal from the terahertz detector and to perform an action based on a detected parameter.

A computer accesses a first symbolic expression for an output value as a function of an input value. The computer computes a first symbolic Jacobian of the input value with respect to an input tangent space from a symbolic Lie group definition. The computer computes a second symbolic Jacobian of the output value with respect to the input value. The computer computes a third symbolic Jacobian of an output tangent space with respect to the input value from the symbolic Lie group definition. The computer applies symbolic matrix multiplication to the first symbolic Jacobian, the second symbolic Jacobian, and the third symbolic Jacobian to obtain a second symbolic expression for the output tangent space with respect to the input tangent space. The computer provides a representation of the second symbolic expression.

A procedure in updating information of a connection in associating an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with a UAV controller to establish the connection is not clarified. For the connection for performing communication of the UAV, a user plane resource is to be activated. The UAV updates stored identification information and IP address of the UAV controller, based on reception, from a network, of a PDU session modification command message including identification information and IP address of the UAV controller. The UAV, in a case of establishing a PDU session that provides a QoS flow for performing Command and Control (C2) communication, transmits and/or receives information for establishing an Always-on PDU session to and/or from a network.
