Unmanned vehicles may be used to survey a property in response to or in anticipation of damage to the property. For example, an unmanned vehicle may use one or more sensors to determine damage to the property. Unmanned vehicles can be terrestrial, aerial, nautical, or multi-mode.

Systems and methods for service drone landing zone operations are disclosed herein. An example method includes determining location-specific information for a location, the location-specific information including at least images of the location from at least one of a vehicle or a mobile device at the location, determining a landing area for a drone at the location using the location-specific information. receiving localizing signals from at least one of the vehicle or the mobile device as the drone approaches the location, and causing the drone to land in the landing area using the localizing signals.

Systems and methods are provided for sample collection from one or more subjects using mobile sample collection devices.

A method for controlling an autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle for delivery of a medication package includes determining a thermal control period for the medication package. The method also includes identifying a delivery location corresponding to the medication package. The method also includes identifying at least one environmental characteristic of an environment that includes a delivery three-dimensional flight path between a starting location and the delivery location, wherein the at least one environmental characteristic indicates an actual weather value at the delivery location. The method also includes determining whether to deliver the medication package based on the thermal control period and the at least one environmental characteristic, using the unmanned aerial vehicle.

An intelligent rescue method applied to a vehicle-mounted device and an airborne rescue device to enable semi-automatic warning and rescue of a broken-down, crashed, drowned, or stranded vehicle, enables communication between the vehicle-mounted device and the rescue device. The vehicle-mounted device determines by sensors a type of emergency of a vehicle, and performs a first assistance action and sends the rescue device a distress signal corresponding to the type of the emergency of the vehicle. The rescue device receives the distress signal and takes off from an initial position of the vehicle to a target position in response to the distress signal. Once the rescue device reaches the target position, the rescue device performs a second action for assistance.

A signal processing device can determine a wireless sensor signature of an individual within a sensory environment of the signal processing device, the wireless sensor signature corresponding to reflected wireless signals from the individual. Based on reflected wireless signals from the individual, the signal processing device can detect an emergency event at an emergency location within the sensory environment. In response to detecting the emergency event, the signal processing device can transmit, over a wireless network, a deploy command to a drone that includes a camera, the deploy command indicating the emergency location and including an imaging command to capture live images of the emergency event.

A method for controlling personal protective equipment. The method includes positioning of a person equipped with personal protective equipment next to an electrical enclosure, wherein a specific personal protective equipment requirement is defined for the electrical enclosure. The method further includes scanning the personal protective equipment in a contact-less manner while the person is next to the electrical enclosure. Thereby scanned personal protective equipment information are generated. The method further includes comparing the scanned personal protective equipment information with the specific personal protective equipment requirement and evaluating, based on the comparison, whether the personal protective equipment is in accordance with the specific personal protective equipment requirement. The method further includes providing a feedback indicating whether or not the personal protective equipment is in accordance with the specific personal protective equipment requirement.

The technical description relates to perimeters for vehicles. Specific examples relate to vehicle perimeters established by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), such as autonomous drones, for a variety of vehicle types, including manually-driven, partially autonomous, and fully autonomous vehicles. Perimeter devices, vehicles, including autonomous vehicles and human-controlled vehicles, UAVs, and related systems and methods are described. Perimeter devices respond to triggering events, such as vehicle-immobilizing events, GPS-based events, and environment-based events, to establish a perimeter adjacent a vehicle such that observers can visually detect the presence of a signal member, such as a warning triangle having a reflective surface. An example vehicle includes a tractor unit, a trailer connected to the tractor unit, a storage enclosure associated with the tractor unit, and a plurality of perimeter devices disposed in the chamber. Each perimeter device of the plurality of perimeter devices includes a triangular signal member, a base member, and a UAV. Each perimeter device is adapted to deploy from the chamber and establish a perimeter by the vehicle in response to a triggering event, such as parking of the vehicle in a location for which a perimeter must be established, impact of the vehicle with another object, such as during a traffic accident, rollover of the vehicle, or mechanical and/or electrical failure of the vehicle.

Provided is a control device including a location information reception unit which receives, via a communication device, location information of a user terminal from the terminal in a wireless communication area, a detection device control unit which controls a detection device of a flying object to detect a state of a region including a location indicated by the location information, a detection information reception unit which receives, via the communication device, detection information indicating the state, an unmanned aerial vehicle control unit which controls an unmanned aerial vehicle to capture an image around the location by an image capturing unit of the vehicle based on the detection information, a captured image reception unit which receives a captured image captured by the image capturing unit from the vehicle, and a rescue method decision unit which decides a rescue method of rescuing a user of the terminal based on the image.
