Remotely controllable aeronautical ordnance
An ordnance for air-borne delivery to a target under remotely controlled in-flight navigation. In one embodiment, self-powered aerial ordnance includes upper and lower cases. A plurality of co-axial, deployable blades is powered by a motor positioned in the upper case. When deployed, the blades are rotatable about the upper case to impart thrust and bring the vehicle to a first altitude above a target position. An explosive material and a camera are positioned in a lower case which is attached to the upper case. The camera generates a view along the ground plane and above the target when the ordinance is in flight. When the vehicle is deployed it is remotely controllable to deliver the vehicle to the target to detonate the explosive at the target. The ordnance may drop directly on a target as a bomb does.
Mower fleet management device, method, and system
The mower fleet management device is configured to control a plurality of mowers to work in collaboration. Each of the mowers includes an on-board communication module and an on-board positioning and navigation module. The mower fleet management device includes: a map loading module configured to acquire a map of a working land parcel; a control terminal communication module configured to wirelessly communicate with the on-board communication modules to acquire status information of the mowers; and a working region assigning module configured to assign a working region to each of the mowers according to the status information and the map. The on-board positioning and navigation module of each of the mowers guides the mower to work in the corresponding working region according to the assigned working region.

Remote controller, remote-control system and control method thereof
A remote controller, a remote-control system and a control method thereof are provided. The remote controller includes a motion sensing circuit and a wireless communication circuit electrically connected to the motion sensing circuit. The motion sensing circuit determines whether or not a motion of the remote controller complies with one of multiple reference motions. When the motion of the remote controller complies with one of the reference motions, the wireless communication circuit is switched from a sleep state to a working state. The wireless communication circuit that is in the working state determines whether or not a received signal strength indication between the remote controller and a controlled device is greater than or equal to a strength threshold. When the received signal strength indication is less than the strength threshold, the wireless communication circuit is switched from the working state to the sleep state.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO ACCOUNT FOR LATENCY ASSOCIATED WITH REMOTE DRIVING APPLICATIONS
Systems and methods to account for latency associated with remote driving applications may include a vehicle having an imaging device and a teleoperator station in communication with each other via a network. Imaging data that is captured by the imaging device may be transmitted to the teleoperator station for presentation to a teleoperator. In order to account for latency in the transmission, receipt, processing, and presentation of the imaging data, one or more visualizations of the vehicle, with various visual characteristics, may be rendered within or overlaid onto the imaging data, in order to facilitate safe and reliable remote operation of the vehicle by the teleoperator at the teleoperator station.
Systems and methods of pilot assist for subsea vehicles
A method for controlling a subsea vehicle. The method includes receiving sensor data representing a subsea environment from one or more sensors of the subsea vehicle. The method identifies one or more objects present in the subsea environment based on the sensor data using an artificial intelligence machine. The method transmits at least a portion of the sensor data, including an identification of the one or more objects, to a user interface. The method includes receiving a requested vehicle task from the user interface. The requested vehicle task being selected by a user via the user interface. The method performs the requested vehicle task without vehicle position control from the user.
Augmented reality in a vehicle configured for changing an emotional state of a rider
Vehicles and methods described herein include a vehicle that operates with a rider according to an operating parameter. The vehicle includes: a physiological monitoring sensor configured to measure a physiological parameter of the rider; an experience hybrid neural network trained on outcomes related to a rider in-vehicle experience associated with the physiological parameter to determine an emotional state of the rider; an augmented reality system configured to present augmented reality content to the rider of the vehicle based, at least in part, on the operating parameter; and an optimization hybrid neural network that identifies a variation in the operating parameter to change the emotional state of the rider and that generates a command to vary the operating parameter and the augmented reality content according to the variation.
