A climbing wall assembly comprising at least one wall panel (2) arranged to provide at least a portion of a climbing wall (1), a number of hand hold structures (5) to be placed to the at least one wall panel (2) and a number of integrated fastening elements (3) arranged in the at least one wall panel (2) for receiving the hand hold structures (5) to be placed to the at least one wall panel (2).

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system for the mounting of obstacles on a climbing wall in a manner which allows the obstacles to take on a number of different positions or orientations without a need to remove the obstacle mounting element from the climbing surface or perform any other significant disassembly. Embodiments of the present disclosure thus provide obstacles that can be repositioned by children during play to instantly create a variety of unique climbing challenge courses.

The present invention is directed to a climbing structure. The climbing structure is configured to be portable, adjustable, modular, safe to use, and assembled without the use of tools. The portable climbing structure is comprised of at least two panels which are adjoined together to form the climbing surface of a frame. The climbing structure is further comprised of a padded layer covering the panels, a pair of side rails configured on a left and right vertical side of each panel, and a pair of adjustable bars connected to the adjoined panels at the side rails to adjust an incline angle. The frame and the padded layer are provided with a plurality of openings which receive detachable grips.

Adjustable climbing walls for crack climbing at various gap sizes are provided. The adjustable climbing wall may have two panels and a slide for positioning one panel relative to another. An actuator may adjustably position each of the two panels along the slide. Aspects contemplated methods and systems for the adjustable climbing wall.

A climbing practice board provides a panel having both threaded holes for the receipt of anchors and support holes allowing attachment of the practice board to a variety of elevated supports.

Crack climbing is being sought out by more indoor climbers, however the issue that has arisen is that indoor features are fixed; cannot be removed or changed, thus climbing the feature indoors quickly loses its value as a method of getting stronger, or improving one's ability to adapt to outdoor environments. Currently if one wishes to practice or train for Crack climbing, they take to easy natural rock routes outdoors or build training boards out of wood to simulate common hand placements under the duress of a climb. Provided herein is an indoor-traditional crack climbing hold (I-TCCH) simulating a variety of Crack climbing situations and providing a Settable gym Crack to the simulated outdoor environment crack and the opportunity for climbers who wish to learn how to climb crack to have a safe way to learn about making correct hand placement, while conditioning themselves to natural rock surfaces.

A smart vehicle flock navigation system includes a plurality of smart vehicles configured to follow a leader smart vehicle, wherein the leader smart vehicle is configured to follow a target vehicle or a target driving plan; each smart vehicle being equipped with: obstacle detection and avoidance capabilities; vehicle-to-vehicle communication means for transmitting information about obstacles and evasive actions to following smart vehicles; a flock control module for adjusting the driving path of the smart vehicle flock based on transmitted obstacle information; a flocking behavior algorithm based on three independent rules: Separation, Alignment, and Cohesion, controlling the motion of each smart vehicle within the flock; and a distributed flocking operation mechanism utilizing wireless network communication for coordinating the behavior of the smart vehicle flock.

An Internet of Thing (IoT) device includes a body with a processor, a camera and a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor.

A training apparatus for fast-rope training includes a platform-supporting structure having one or more containers and at least one platform configured for use in fast-rope training. At least one attachment is provided for attaching a fast-rope. The platform-supporting structure is supportable by a surface. The at least one attachment Is located higher than the platform and spaced laterally from the platform-supporting structure such that the at least one attachment overhangs the surface so a fast rope can hang from the at least one attachment, past the platform and toward the surface.

Videography of surfaces and improved positional control of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are disclosed. Embodiments include defining a plane relative a vertical or semi-vertical surface. Linearly scanning along a line parallel to the plane. The plane being defined by three non-colinear points. The linear scanning along the plane is defined by a defined distance from the plane to the surface. The scanning including distance sensor scanning. The distance sensor scanning creating a model of the surface. The distance sensor scanning can include sound-based or light-based distance measurement scanning. The surveillance scanning can further include capture of imagery of the surface along the linear scanning along the plane.
