REMOTE OPERATOR TERMINAL
A remote operator terminal to be used by a remote operator for a remote operation of a target mobility is provided. The remote operator terminal includes: a plurality of types of operation systems; and processing circuitry configured to automatically select a first operation system to be used for the remote operation from among the plurality of types of operation systems.
REMOTE OPERATOR TERMINAL
A remote operator terminal to be used by a remote operator for a remote operation of a target mobility is provided. The remote operator terminal includes: a plurality of types of operation systems; and a notification device configured to notify the remote operator of information. A first operation system is one of the plurality of types of operation systems. The information indicates a relationship between a maximum operation amount of the first operation system and a current operation amount of the first operation system input by the remote operator, or the information indicates that the current operation amount reaches the maximum operation amount.
Boat and lateral movement control method for boat
In a boat including a hull, when the hull is moved laterally based on an output from the outboard motor, the hull rolls, which may cause discomfort to a user or passengers. To compensate for this, a lateral movement control method for the boat including the hull and the outboard motor includes generating a propulsion force to laterally move the hull with the output of the outboard motor, and executing a roll reduction process to reduce a roll angle of the hull at a time of laterally moving the hull.
Flight management system for an aircraft
A flight management system for an aircraft, includes a critical first avionics module for trajectory calculation, i.e. a module the integrity level and availability level of which are specified by regulatory standards in force, delivering as output a safe trajectory, based on a flight plan; a second module for trajectory calculation that is less critical than the critical first module, i.e. a module the integrity level and availability level of which are lower than those of the first module, delivering as output an improved trajectory that is less safe than the trajectory delivered by the critical first avionics module, based on a flight plan; a critical avionics module for trajectory verification, configured to validate or invalidate the safety of the less safe improved trajectory; and a critical avionics module for decision-making configured to select a trajectory from the safe trajectory and the less safe trajectory.
Orchestrating vehicles and remote operating clients
A computer-implemented method for orchestrating operation of multiple vehicles includes generating a single display image stream based on multiple image streams, each image stream corresponding to a respective vehicle, the vehicles being assigned to be controlled by a remote operating client. The method further includes receiving, from the remote operating client, a vehicle operation instruction in response to the single display image stream being displayed by the remote operating client. The method further includes transmitting, to at least one vehicle from the multiple vehicles, the operation instruction to manipulate operation of the at least one vehicle.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REDUCING A LIKELIHOOD OF USING A GO AROUND MANEUVER WHILE LANDING AN AERIAL VEHICLE
Systems and methods are provided for landing of an aerial vehicle on a runway. The systems include a runway overrun awareness and alerting system (ROAAS) configured to: monitor flight parameters during an approach phase and landing phase of a flight, and determine a landing distance value based on the flight parameters, an automatic flight control system (AFCS) including an automatic flight runway overrun awareness and alerting system (AF-ROAAS) protection mode configured to adjust energy of the aerial vehicle during the approach phase and/or the landing phase to reduce a likelihood of the aerial vehicle overrunning the runway, and a controller configured to: compare the landing distance value and an available runway length value to a threshold criterion, wherein the threshold criterion corresponds to the likelihood of the vehicle overrunning the runway, and automatically activating the AF-ROAAS protection mode in response to a determination that the threshold criterion is met.
OBJECT DETECTION PROBABILITY CALCULATING APPARATUS, OBJECT DETECTION PROBABILITY CALCULATING METHOD, AND PROGRAM
An object detection probability calculating apparatus includes a processor; and a memory storing instructions that cause the processor to execute a process. The process includes calculating an object detection probability indicating a probability at which a person is able to detect a predetermined object appearing in an image, based on a parameter of image quality acquired from a camera provided at a moving body capable of automatic movement and distance information indicating a distance from the moving body or the camera to the predetermined object.
REMOTE SUPPORT SYSTEM AND MANAGEMENT DEVICE
A remote support system for remote support of a moving body includes a management device and one or more relay devices different from the management device. The management device is configured to receive a support request transmitted from the moving body and select a support resource required for the remote support. The one or more relay devices are configured to relay data communication performed during the remote support between the moving body and a remote support terminal.
Autopilot-based aircraft recovery system
An aircraft includes an autopilot system including one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to, in response to selection of an autopilot activation button during flight of the aircraft while the aircraft is operating in a first condition, apply first control laws to automatically control the flight of the aircraft. The one or more processors are further configured to, in response to selection of the autopilot activation button while the aircraft is operating in a second condition, apply second control laws to automatically control the flight of the aircraft, where the second control laws are different from the first control laws.
Aircraft and method for flight control of an aircraft during flight
A method for flight control of an aircraft with multiple actuators during flight is disclosed. For each actuator, a control command is computed according to at least one predetermined control law and based on pilot inputs and sensor measurements in relation to a physical state of the aircraft. The respective control commands are provided to the actuators. The control commands are independently monitored by estimating or measuring a current physical state of the aircraft and comparing it with the control commands. This comparison includes checking whether the control commands stabilize the aircraft in a stable state in the absence of both disturbances and pilot inputs according to at least one predefined criterion. If the monitoring indicates a lack of stability, transmission of the control commands is prevented and a backup control command is computed for each actuator.
