Navigation system (300) for land, air, marine or submarine vehicle (302), comprising a remote control workstation (301) with Manual control mode (310), Mission Planning mode (330) and tactical control mode (360) initiating command-and-control options; a navigation module (100) retrofittably disposed on the vehicle (302); a plurality of perception sensors (318) disposed on the vehicle (302); the system (300) receives manual, electrical, radio and audio commands of human operator (305) in the manual control (310) and mission planning mode (330) and converts them to dataset for training a navigation model having a navigational algorithm. The perception sensors (318) generate dataset for self-learning in real time in manual control mode (310), mission control mode (330) and tactical control mode (360); the navigational system (300) autonomously navigates with presence of communication network (390) and in absence of communication network (390).

A system and method is disclosed for configuring a group of mobile field devices using a configuration device (an HMI) is provided. In particular, the HMI is programmed to configure identically programmed field devices that are arbitrarily arranged in an application-dependent formation by defining and providing configuration parameters to the devices via wired and/or wireless communication. In particular, the HMI assigns a unique identifier to respective robots as a function of the position of the robot within the formation or the layout of the environment. Accordingly each robot can be efficiently configured by the HMI to operate independently yet as a coordinated member of the group and without requiring the robots to be placed in specific positions during the initial deployment. This obviates the need for constant independent control commands for each robot by a central controller or providing a customized control program to each robot during deployment.

A UAV control method, a device, a UAV, and a storage medium are provided. The method includes: obtaining a UAV's take-off position; obtaining a height map of an area around the take-off position; determining height information of a highest target in the area around the take-off position based on the height map; determining a relative height between the highest target and the take-off position based on the height information of the highest target; determining a restricted flight altitude of the UAV relative to the take-off position based on the relative height, and controlling the UAV based on the restricted flight altitude; where the restricted flight altitude is greater than or equal to the relative height. It thus can ensure flight safety while offering more reasonable and user-friendly flight flexibility and freedom.

A device is a device mounted on a moving body and configured to control the moving body. The device includes a holding unit and a control unit. The holding unit holds an information processing device that controls the moving body. The control unit is configured to acquire control information used to control the moving body from the information processing device, and to control the moving body based on the control information.

A system and a method for operating an aircraft during a descent phase of flight include a control unit configured to receive data regarding one or both of a current flight or one or more previous flights of the aircraft from one or more sensors of the aircraft. The control unit is further configured to determine efficient descent phase parameters for the aircraft based on the data. The aircraft is operated during the descent phase of one or both of the current flight or one or more future flights according to the efficient descent phase parameters.

A management device that includes a reception unit that receives transport information relevant to an application for use of an aerial transport path formed indoors, a determination unit that determines whether the aerial transport path can be formed in accordance with the transport information, a reception information output unit that outputs, to a requesting party of the transport information, reception information including a determination result regarding whether the aerial transport path can be formed, a transport path formation unit that generates formation information of the aerial transport path in response to the determination result indicating that the aerial transport path can be formed, and a formation information output unit that outputs the formation information of the aerial transport path to a guide light installed indoors to form the aerial transport path.

A transport system includes: a plurality of autonomously movable first moving bodies; and one or more second moving bodies configured to transport the plurality of first moving bodies as a first assembly in which relative positions of the plurality of first moving bodies with respect to each other are identified.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of an unmanned aerial vehicle remote take-off and landing method and system, and a terminal. A first route task instruction is sent to a first nest, where the first route task instruction is configured to control the first unmanned aerial vehicle to execute a first route task in a direction of a second nest. Distance information between the first unmanned aerial vehicle and the second nest is obtained in real time, and a vehicle moving instruction is sent to the second nest when the distance information is less than a preset distance, where the vehicle moving instruction is configured to controlling a second unmanned aerial vehicle corresponding to the second nest to leave the second nest. A landing instruction is sent to the first unmanned aerial vehicle, to control the first unmanned aerial vehicle to land in the second nest.

An uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) may be configured to hover above a particular charging pad within a portion of a cluster of charging pads for UAVs. The cluster may include the charging pads arranged in a layout and fiducial markers distributed at positions across the layout. While hovering above the particular charging pad, the UAV may capture an aerial image of the portion of the cluster. The UAV may derive cluster-portion observation data from the image, the cluster-portion observation data including information indicating a position of the particular charging pad, and positions of one or more fiducial markers within the portion of the cluster relative to the particular charging pad. The UAV may send the cluster-portion observation data to a computing system in an infrastructure support network for UAVs, and thereafter receive, from the computing system, location information indicating that UAV's geolocation is a geolocation of the particular charging pad.

An information output apparatus provided with an acquisition unit that acquires machine identification information and information indicating an operation amount; an identification unit that identifies at least one of a model type of the unmanned moving apparatuses, a purpose of use of the unmanned moving apparatuses, an operation region of the unmanned moving apparatus or component information indicating a component included in the unmanned moving apparatuses, which are associated with the machine identification information; a selection unit that selects an inspection threshold value corresponding to the attribute, as an attribute of the unmanned moving apparatus; a determination unit that determines whether or not a cumulative operation amount calculated by cumulating the operation amount is greater than the inspection threshold value; and an output unit that outputs determination results from the determination unit.
