A server device transmits an instruction for causing a plurality of flying bodies to perform flight operation to the flying bodies. The flight operation includes a step in which a first flying body urges a penetrating tool toward an object placed in a predetermined space and flies out of the predetermined space while holding a first part and a second part of a string member attached to the penetrating tool, the first part having penetrated the object and the second part not having penetrated the object, a step in which a second flying body receives either the first or second part from the first flying body, and a step in which the first and second flying bodies transport the object while towing the object with the string member as the first and second flying bodies fly while respectively holding one or the other of the first and second parts.

This invention is to provide a method to entirely and effectively shade fixed tracts of land, such as school yard or athletics stadium, etc., with no roof, pole to support roof, or the like. To fix a sheet to multiple flying objects so that such sheet forms a fixed size of surface and make such flying objects fly in accordance with flying positions (including heights) decided based on elements, such as positions of the sun, etc.

An unmanned vehicle cooperation system for a person to grasp the operation of an unmanned vehicle and to perform a smooth cooperation action with the unmanned vehicle. The unmanned vehicle cooperation system performs a cooperation action involving human intervention between a plurality of agents including an unmanned vehicle. The unmanned vehicle has a processing unit that performs an action processing of the unmanned vehicle with artificial intelligence using a decision making model established by including a plurality of tasks, the plurality of tasks include a cooperation task for performing the cooperation action, and the processing unit executes a consensus building processing that builds a consensus as to execution of the cooperation task between the agents using a negotiation protocol, and a cooperation action processing that executes the cooperation action of the unmanned vehicle on the basis of the consented cooperation task.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for generating a morphing sequence for an aerial show. The systems and methods may include: receiving, at a computing device comprising a processor, first frame data defining a first location for each of a plurality of drones in a first image of the aerial show; receiving, at the computing device, second frame data defining a second location for each of the plurality of drones in a second image of the aerial show; and generating the morphing sequence, the morphing sequence defining a flightpath for each of the plurality of drones to transition from the first location associated with the first image to the second location associated with the second image.

There is provided a transport control method including receiving, from a control apparatus, first control information for transporting an object; and transmitting, from a first transport apparatus to a second transport apparatus, second control information for the first transport apparatus and the second transport apparatus to cooperate to transport the object according to the first control information.

Systems and methods of calculating a ballistic solution for a projectile are provided. A ballistic system may include an airborne device, a ballistic computer, a data interface, and a flight module, or any combination thereof. The airborne device (e.g., a drone) may be operable to gather wind data along or adjacent to a flight path of a projectile to a target. The ballistic computer may be in data communication with the airborne device to receive the wind data. The ballistic computer may be configured to calculate a ballistic solution for the projectile based on the wind data. The data interface may be in data communication with the ballistic computer to output the ballistic solution to a user. The flight module may be configured to calibrate a flight path of the airborne device.

An access management system includes a mobile device with a processor and a memory and a software platform including at least a processor and a memory. The software platform is configured to analyze data obtained from the mobile device and other devices connected to the software platform. Specifically, the software platform is operable to determine if an access key received, read, or captured by a mobile device matches an access key for an authorized account, object, device, or space for the mobile device, and to provide access to the mobile device if the access key received, read, or captured by the mobile device matches the authorized access key.

An unmanned aerial vehicle according to the present disclosure is an unmanned aerial vehicle that can fly in midair and includes a propulsion unit configured to generate a propulsion force for fly in midair, a laser light source configured to illuminate laser light, an imaging unit configured to generate a captured image by capturing vertically below the unmanned aerial vehicle during flight in midair, and a controller configured to control an operation of the propulsion unit. The controller analyzes a captured image, extracts a light spot formed by laser light, measures a positional relationship with another unmanned aerial vehicle based on the extracted light spot, and executes a collision avoidance operation with respect to another unmanned aerial vehicle based on the measured positional relationship.

A viewing technology method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium including a display device associated with a user and at least two drones having an image capturing device, include a drone control circuit configured to control a flight path of the at least two drones such that the drones are separated by the inter-drone distance, a vergence angle determining circuit configured to determine a vergence angle of the pupils of the user relative to the image displayed on the display device, and a image control circuit configured to control a display of the image on the display device according to the vergence angle to cause the image to create a just-noticeable-difference in the image.

An access management system includes a mobile device with a processor and a memory and a software platform including at least a processor and a memory. The software platform is configured to analyze data obtained from the mobile device and other devices connected to the software platform. Specifically, the software platform is operable to determine if an access key received, read, or captured by a mobile device matches an access key for an authorized account, object, device, or space for the mobile device, and to provide access to the mobile device if the access key received, read, or captured by the mobile device matches the authorized access key.
