An agricultural autonomous vehicle is provided which is operable to traverse a field and perform one or more detection tasks.

An unmanned device for a marine environment comprises a location sensor configured to gather location data corresponding to the unmanned device; at least one propulsion system; a transmitter and memory including computer program code. The computer program code is configured to, when executed, cause the processor to cause the propulsion system to propel the unmanned device in a pattern along the body of water, cause the sonar transducer to emit the one or more sonar beams into the body of water, receive sonar return data corresponding to sonar returns, and generate a sonar image corresponding to the sonar return data. Further, the computer program code is configured to cause the processor to detect an object within the sonar image, assign a score to the object indicating the likelihood that the object is a desired object type, and send an alert to the remote electronics device upon assignment of the score.

A mobile testing and evaluation vehicle can include a body and a mobility feature disposed on the body, where the mobility feature is configured to move the body with respect to a zone of interest. The mobile testing and evaluation vehicle can also include a sensor device configured to obtain a measurement of a parameter associated with a sample in the zone of interest. The mobile testing and evaluation vehicle can further include a controller that is configured to receive the measurement, evaluate the sample based on the measurement, and evaluate the zone of interest based on evaluating the sample.

Provided is a sampling method for surface sediments in an intertidal zone based on an unmanned aerial vehicle platform, including: at low tide, automatically or manually moving an unmanned aerial vehicle to an appropriate height above a sampling position of the surface sediments in the intertidal zone according to a preset waypoint. The unmanned aerial vehicle platform is equipped with a winch, a releaser and a surface sampler. Operation process: the sampler is released, and the sampler is inserted into seabed by gravity to obtain a sample with a specified quality; the unmanned aerial vehicle rises vertically, and uses a lift to take the sample off an intertidal zone ground; the winch is started to recover the sampler to a bottom of the unmanned aerial vehicle; after the completion, the unmanned aerial vehicle automatically or manually returns to an initial position.

Disclosed is a method for obtaining meteorological data by a UAS, the UAS including at least one UAV, a control center and a wireless communication interface. The UAV is equipped with a meteorological data sensor and a flight controller. The method includes the control center sending flight instruction data to the UAV, and performing flight. The UAV collects raw meteorological data and flight data and transmits the collected raw meteorological data and the flight data in real time to the control center, the flight data being collected by any one of a position sensor, a motion sensor, an environment sensor and/or a combination thereof included in the flight controller. The control center calculates meteorological data based on the received raw meteorological data and the flight data and sends return instruction data. The at least one UAV returns to the UAS accordingly.

A measurement system 1 is the measurement system 1 including a flight vehicle 30 that flies in a measurement zone to perform measurement; and a management device 10 that controls a flight path of the flight vehicle 30. The management device 10 includes an information collection unit 11 that collects the wind conditions in the measurement zone; and a flight plan management unit 12 that plans, based on the wind conditions, a flight path in which the flight vehicle enters the measurement zone from windward or leeward and flies directly against the wind in the area. The flight vehicle 30 flies along the flight path to perform measurement in the measurement zone.

A communications platform to facilitate communication between patients and doctors in a remote setting using digital health robot is provided. The digital health robot includes measurement systems to simulate a live examination. A video Visit may be initiated at behest of the patient where doctors may review live results and provide direct feedback to patients.

A method for controlling an aerial vehicle, UAV, includes causing the UAV to adjust its orientation; monitoring a change in radio signal received at the UAV with the change in orientation; determining a translational movement of the UAV based on the monitored change; and causing translational movement of the UAV based on the determination.
