According to an embodiment, a hunting drone includes a hunting mechanism, a net gun, a flying mechanism, and a control unit. The hunting mechanism captures a target. The net gun generates a sound at the time of firing a hunting net. After approaching the target to a predetermined distance, the hunting drone captures the target using the hunting mechanism, while avoiding false recognition of the target by using the sound generated at the time of firing the net gun as a threatening sound to repel a wrong target such as a bird.

Localization systems and methods for transmitting timestampable localization signals from anchors according to one or more transmission schedules. The transmission schedules may be generated and updated to achieve desired positioning performance. For example, one or more anchors may transmit localization signals at a different rate than other anchors, the anchor transmission order can be changed, and the signals can partially overlap. In addition, different transmission parameters may be used to transmit two localization signals at the same time without interference. A self-localizing apparatus is able to receive the localization signals and determine its position. The self-localizing apparatus may have a configurable receiver that can select to receive one of multiple available localization signals. The self-localizing apparatuses may have a pair of receivers able to receive two localization signals at the same time. A bridge anchor may be provided to enable a self-localizing apparatus to seamlessly transition between two localization systems.

A system for navigating a dynamic pool equipment unit is disclosed. The system comprises a wireless unit physically connected to the dynamic pool equipment unit deployed in a water pool, allowing the wireless unit to move with the equipment while partially out of the water. The wireless unit includes a first interface for communicating with the equipment unit via a first communication channel, and a second interface for intercepting wireless signals from external stations via a wireless communication channel. A controller navigates the equipment unit towards the external station(s) by measuring the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of intercepted wireless signals, estimating the direction of the external station(s) based on RSSI analysis, and transmitting movement instructions to the equipment unit to advance in the estimated direction.

A platooning control apparatus may include: a navigation unit configured to guide an ego vehicle to a destination set by a driver; a driving module configured to drive the ego vehicle; and a control unit configured to primarily select platooning groups based on the destination set in the navigation unit, analyze platooning information of the primarily selected platooning groups, finally decide any one of the primarily selected platooning groups, and then control the driving module to join the finally decided platooning group.

A transfer robot includes: a platform configured to allow a transport object to be mounted on the platform; a stand that extends upward from the platform; and a wireless communication unit configured to perform wireless communication with an external device using radio waves in a predetermined frequency band. The wireless communication unit includes a first wireless communication antenna and a second wireless communication antenna disposed so as to receive radio waves at least from an outer side in a direction parallel to the platform. The first wireless communication antenna and the second wireless communication antenna are disposed on opposite end surface sides of the platform with a center portion of the platform interposed between each other in the direction parallel to the platform.

An autonomous travel support device is provided that is structurally and electrically attachable to and detachable from a working vehicle. The working vehicle is configured to travel in response to a first operation input by a user. The autonomous travel support device comprises a processor configured to execute a reception step of receiving a switching input being an input for switching a travel mode of the working vehicle to a first mode or a second mode; and a vehicle control step of causing the working vehicle to travel in response to the first operation input in a case where the travel mode is set to the first mode, and of causing the working vehicle to travel autonomously using a preset autonomous travel model in a case where the travel mode is set to the second mode.

A method of performing an adaptive aerial survey includes capturing images of a target area, by at least one camera system disposed on an aerial vehicle, as the aerial vehicle travels along a flight map that includes a plurality of flight lines. The method also includes determining coverage of the target area based on the images captured by the at least one camera system, and adjusting at least one of the flight map and an orientation of the at least one camera system based on the coverage of the target area determined based on the images captured by the at least one camera system. The method can be performed by a control system including circuitry to perform the above steps.

The application provides a pose adjustment method, a pose adjustment device, an electronic equipment, and a readable storage medium. The method includes: obtaining coordinates and noise parameters of the mobile device at a previous moment, the coordinates and the noise parameters at the previous moment being predicted by a Kalman filter model, the previous moment is a previous moment adjacent to a current moment; obtaining several measurement coordinates of the mobile device at the current moment through several measurement modules; predicting coordinates of the mobile device at the current moment through the Kalman filter model based on the several measured coordinates, the coordinates of the previous moment, and the noise parameters of the previous moment; and adjusting the pose of the mobile device at the current moment based on the coordinates of the current moment and a preset trajectory of the mobile device. The pose adjustment method may improve positioning accuracy.

A moving body according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a communicator that performs wireless communication with an external apparatus; an index acquirer that acquires a first index value indicating a transmission path characteristic between the moving body and the external apparatus; and a movement controller that determines, based on the first index value, a first position or a first direction to or in which the moving body moves, and causes the moving body to move to the first position or in the first direction.
