20220390937 · 2022-12-08 · ·

A remote traveling vehicle remotely operated by a remote operator receives remote control information of the remote operator from a server via a communication network. The remote traveling vehicle acquires driving environment information of the remote traveling vehicle, and acquires meandering state information including whether a meandering state of the remote traveling vehicle is detected, based on the driving environment information. When the remote-control information includes detection of the meandering condition of the remote traveling vehicle, the remote traveling vehicle adds a limit on the upper speed limit or limit steering angle of the remote traveling vehicle.

11520329 · 2022-12-06 · ·

A method and a system for detecting wire or wire-like obstacles, which method and system are designed for an aircraft. The system for detecting wire or wire-like obstacles comprises a detection device, such as a video camera or a LIDAR device, a computer and a display device. The method includes a step of detecting at least one pylon in the surrounding environment of the aircraft via a detection device, a step of identifying a family of pylons to which each detected pylon corresponds, a step of characterizing at least one cable supported by the at least one detected pylon, and a step of determining a prohibited zone that can potentially contain each pylon and each cable and a safe zone not containing either a pylon or a cable. The prohibited zone and the safe zone may be displayed on the display device.

METHOD AND USER INTERFACE FOR SELECTIVELY ASSISTED AUTOMATION OF LOADING OPERATION STAGES FOR WORK VEHICLES
20220382274 · 2022-12-01 ·

A system and method of selective input confirmation for automated loading by a work vehicle comprising a main frame and a work attachment movable with respect to the main frame for loading/unloading material in a loading area external to the work vehicle during a loading process having loading stages. Location inputs are detected for the loading area respective to the main frame and/or work attachment. First user inputs correspond to selected automation for respective loading stages, for which detection routines are executed with respect to parameters of the loading area based on the detected location inputs. If second user inputs are determined to be required with respect to certain parameters of the loading area, the second user inputs are received and movement of the main frame and/or work attachment are controlled for automating the corresponding loading stages based at least in part thereon.

Techniques for image recognition-based aerial vehicle navigation

A control terminal for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a processor and a storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to render an image on a user interface of the control terminal. The image is captured by an imaging device coupled to the UAV and is associated with a view of the imaging device. The instructions further cause the processor to detect, via the user interface, a gesture-based input including one or more reference points in the image and indicating a view change of the imaging device, determine a type of the gesture-based input by analyzing the one or more reference points, and generate control data based on the type of the gesture-based input to control at least one of the UAV or the imaging device for the view change of the imaging device.

11513514 · 2022-11-29 · ·

A location processing device includes a selection member configured to select multiple flight vehicles to form a flight group. The location processing device also includes a determination member configured to determine first relative location information of the multiple flight vehicles of the flight group while instructing an operation device configured to control the multiple flight vehicles to perform operations.

Remote monitoring system and an autonomous running vehicle and remote monitoring method

An autonomous running vehicle transmits a camera image around the vehicle photographed by a camera to a remote monitoring center. An obstacle is detected on the basis of information obtained from autonomous sensors including the camera. When an obstacle is detected, the autonomous running vehicle is automatically stopped. The remote monitoring center determines, when the autonomous running vehicle automatically stops, whether or not the run of the autonomous running vehicle is permitted to restart on the basis of the received camera video. When it is determined that the autonomous running vehicle can be restarted, a departure signal is transmitted to the autonomous running vehicle. When the departure signal is received from the remote monitoring center, the autonomous running vehicle restarts running.
