Remote control system and method to support separate operation of an animal disclosed. Remote control system to support separate operation of an animal includes a drone, capable of performing a separation operation, a wearable device, in form of being wearable on an animal and configured for docking the drone, a server, configured for communicating at least one of the drone and the wearable device to gather information that at least one of the drone or and the wearable device collects, and configured for transmitting a user command to at least one of the drone or and the wearable device, and a user terminal, configured for receiving and outputting the gathered information in communication with the server, and configured for receiving the user command regarding the drone and the wearable device.

A system for interacting with a remote object comprising a wearable jacket for a user, two actuators for supporting arms of the user, motors for causing movements to at least one of a torso and the arms of the user, and sensors for measuring at least one of a force applied to the user and a position of the user, and a controller and data transmission device for communicating with the remote object.

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) module includes a UAV having foldable wings coupled to a body of the UAV, a UAV case having length and width dimensions that is constructed and arranged to operate in (i) a closed configuration that stores and protects the UAV while the UAV module is transported within the UAV case between locations with the foldable wings in a folded configuration, and (ii) an opened configuration that provides a base from which the UAV launches vertically from within the UAV case while the foldable wings of the UAV remain in the folded configuration. The UAV is constructed and arranged to automatically unfold the foldable wings outwards from the body of the UAV to form a fixed wing that extends beyond the length and width dimensions of the UAV case for fixed wing horizontal flight after the UAV is airborne.

A rotary wing vehicle includes a body structure having an elongated tubular backbone or core, and a counter-rotating coaxial rotor system having rotors with each rotor having a separate motor to drive the rotors about a common rotor axis of rotation. The rotor system is used to move the rotary wing vehicle in directional flight.

The present invention discloses an unfolding propeller unit type unmanned aerial vehicle including a body unit, a plurality of propeller units in which propellers are installed, a locking unit configured to lock the propeller units so that a state in which the propeller units are overlapping on the body unit is maintained, and propeller unit unfolders, each configured to connect each of the propeller units to the body unit, and unfold the propeller unit from the body unit so the propeller units are positioned around the body unit when locking of the locking unit is released.

A controller monitors for an activation condition through a monitoring interface of a wearable aerial device. In response to detecting the activation condition through the monitoring interface, the controller triggers the wearable aerial device to release from an aesthetic attachment proximate to a user and hover a distance above the user of a height above a selected height threshold. The controller analyzes a recording of content by the wearable aerial device to assess a particular threat level associated with the content from among multiple threat levels. The controller, in response to the particular threat level exceeding a threat threshold, automatically sends a communication to one or more emergency contacts.

Vehicles such as unmanned air vehicles that are capable of movement from an open, flight configuration to an enclosed configuration in which all major flight components can be protected by an outer shell are disclosed. In the enclosed configuration, the vehicles can take on standard geometric shapes such as a rectangular prism, sphere, cylinder, or another shape, so as to not be recognizable as an unmanned air vehicle. Embodiments of vehicles can also include interchangeable and/or wireless motor arms, motor arms which are electrically connected to the remainder of the vehicle only when in an open configuration, remote controllers removably attached to the remainder of the vehicle, and clip or other attachment mechanisms for attachment to objects such as backpacks.

The present invention relates to the field of air vehicle technologies and provides an arm, a power assembly and an unmanned aerial vehicle. The arm includes a principal arm and an auxiliary arm. The principal arm is mounted on the vehicle body and the principal arm can rotate relative to the vehicle body. One end of the auxiliary arm is connected to the principal arm. The auxiliary arm can rotate relative to the principal arm. In the foregoing manner, an unmanned aerial vehicle having the arm is compact in structure, small in volume and easy to carry after being folded.

In an aspect, in general, a spooling apparatus includes a filament feeding mechanism for deploying and retracting filament from the spooling apparatus to an aerial vehicle, an exit geometry sensor for sensing an exit geometry of the filament from the spooling apparatus, and a controller for controlling the feeding mechanism to feed and retract the filament based on the exit geometry.
