The connectivity hub is configured to establish a connection with at least one remote server. The connectivity hub is configured to exchange data between the plurality of machines and the at least one remote server. The data flows through the connectivity hub.

A flying device that flies by being controlled from an external location, the flying device including a determination unit that determines a communication quality on a first wireless communication channel used for transmitting data to a control device that controls the flying device within a prescribed range from a flight position at which the flying device is flying; and a transmission control unit that controls a type of data to be transmitted to the control device on the basis of the communication quality determined by the determination unit.

A working system (100) includes: a working actuator (26) installed on a working machine (1); a camera (21) and a microphone (22) detecting a state of a user changing in accordance with a satisfaction level; a rework determining unit (11) determining whether a rework is needed based on the detected state of the user after a predetermined work is performed by the working machine (1); and an actuator controlling unit (15) controlling the working actuator (26) to perform the rework when it is determined by the rework determining unit (11) that the rework is needed.

An autonomous lawn mowing system and method comprising receiving data from at least one autonomous lawn mower of a fleet of autonomous lawn mowers. The data comprising at least sensor data from one or more sensors associated with the at least one autonomous lawn mower. The sensor data is captured while the at least one autonomous lawn mower traversed an environment in accordance with a mow pattern. Based at least in part on the data, generating information indicative of one or more of: a diagnostic of the at least one autonomous lawn mower, an attribute associated with the environment, or a metric associated with the at least one autonomous lawn mower performing a task, and providing the information to a user.

Techniques for providing a user interface for remote vehicle monitoring and/or control include presenting a digital representation of an environment and a vehicle as it traverses the environment on a first portion of a display and presenting on a second portion of the display a communication interface that is configured to provide communication with multiple people. The communication interface may enable communications between a remote operator and any number of occupants of the vehicle, other operators (e.g., other remote operators or in-vehicle operators), and/or people in an environment around the vehicle. The user interface may additionally include controls to adjust components of the vehicle, and the controls may be presented on a third portion of the display. Furthermore, the user interface may include a vehicle status interface that provides information associated with a current state of the vehicle.

A system for coordinating operations for a plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles (“UAV”) is provided. The system generates a time-based sequence comprising one or more operations for each UAV, each operation including an execution window and a duration, identifies coincident time periods between first and second execution windows, and prepares a modified time-based sequence for each of the plurality of UAVs. The preparing includes setting at least one of a first preferred start time (“PST”) for a respective operation within the first execution window and a second PST for a respective operation within the second execution window based on at least the estimated duration of each respective operation and the coincident time periods. The setting is configured to minimize overlap between respective operations within the first and second execution windows. Modified time-based sequences for the plurality of UAVs are then provided to an operator.

Among other things, a determination is made that intervention in an operation of one or more autonomous driving capabilities of a vehicle is appropriate. Based on the determination, a person is enabled to provide information for an intervention. The intervention is caused in the operation of the one or more autonomous driving capabilities of the vehicle.

The disclosure generally pertains to a vehicle maneuvering system that includes a personal communication device configured to provide enhanced feedback during vehicle maneuvering operations. In an example scenario, an individual executes a remote-control action upon a personal communication device such as, for example, by swiping a finger across a touchscreen. The personal communication device communicates with a vehicle controller to maneuver the vehicle. Enhanced feedback pertaining to the movement of the vehicle, such as a direction and/or a speed of movement, is provided via the personal communication device in various formats. Some examples include a directional haptic vibration that moves in the personal communication device in correspondence to the movement of the vehicle (and/or a trailer attached to the vehicle), a spatial audio signal that is produced in spatial correspondence with the movement of the vehicle/trailer, and/or an icon that moves spatially on the touchscreen in correspondence with the vehicle/trailer.

Disclosed are a somatosensory remote controller, a somatosensory remote control flight system and method, and a remote control method. The somatosensory remote controller comprises: a motion sensor, a controller, a first transmission module, and a remote controller body. The motion sensor, the first transmission module, and the controller are all disposed on the remote controller body, and the motion sensor and the first transmission module are electrically connected to the controller. The motion sensor acquires initial state information of a current position of the remote controller body and movement information about movement of the remote controller body, and transmit the same to the controller. The controller is configured to receive, according to the initial state information and the movement information, a flight instruction, and send the flight instruction via the first transmission module.

A monitored space is monitored including the production of a first audio signal from received acoustic energy. The first audio signal is then processed against a whitelist of acoustic profiles and, based on lack of substantial correspondence with any of the acoustic profiles, a drone is navigated toward an apparent position of an apparent source. While in-flight, additional acoustic energy is received and a second audio signal is produced from the additional acoustic energy. The second audio signal is processed against the whitelist and, based on lack of substantial correspondence with any of the acoustic profiles of the whitelist, an investigate mode of the drone is initiated. The investigate mode includes notifying a remote monitor and supplying the remote monitor with an audiovisual feed. Responsive to a characterization by the remote monitor, an entry of the whitelist may be updated, added or replaced.
