An improved UAV system and methods for operation in an inventory management system. The methods include generating a three dimensional (3D) map and estimating a position and orientation of the UAV based upon this map; autonomously navigating the UAV in the environment by using the generated 3d map in conjunction with the position and the orientation of the UAV; performing static and dynamic obstacle avoidance in the environment using collision avoidance; and finding the optimal path from a source node to a destination node within the environment.

An automatic parking lot management system includes an infrastructure sensor for detecting a preset range in a parking lot. A mobile body including a peripheral detection sensor is used, and the mobile body is able to be moved to a detectable position at which the peripheral detection sensor of the mobile body is able to detect a detection range of the infrastructure sensor. When determination is made that there is an abnormality in the infrastructure sensor, the mobile body is moved to the detectable position to cause the peripheral detection sensor to detect the detection range of the infrastructure sensor.

A speaker system includes a first speaker and a second speaker. The first speaker includes a first sound signal input interface configured to acquire a first sound signal, and a first sound emitter configured to output a first sound based on the first sound signal in a state in which a position of a host device is fixed. The second speaker includes a second sound signal input interface configured to acquire a second sound signal, a moving body that includes a position information acquisition interface configured to acquire information relating to position and that is configured to move based on the information relating to position, and a second sound emitter configured to output a second sound based on the second sound signal.

A system includes an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) security system comprising a network interface and a processing circuit, where the network interface is structured to facilitate data communication with a UAV and a user device via a network, and the processing circuit comprising a processor and a memory where the processing circuit is structured to deploy the UAV from a UAV base, guide the UAV along a route within or near a provider location, receive monitoring data associated with the provider location and its surroundings from the UAV where the monitoring data is based on ultra-wideband (UWB) data and radio-frequency identification (RFID) data, identify a foreign object based on the monitoring data, and provide a notification to the user device regarding the foreign object.

A rotary aircraft includes a cover, a driving shaft in the cover, an electric control board on the cover, and a flight assembly mounted on the driving shaft and coupled electrically with the electrical control board, a driving assemble mounted on the flight assembly and coupled electrically with the electrical control board, connected with the driving shaft and driving it to rotate so as to rotate the cover, and a light bar mounted on the cover and coupled electrically with the electrical control board, used for displaying a presetting pattern or text, which achieves enlightening education and improves enjoyment of the flight toy and satisfies the demands of the users.

According to one embodiment, a movement instruction device and a method capable of avoiding a risk when a movable object moves are provided. The movement instruction device includes: a storage device that stores map information for determining a movement path of an indoor movable object to a destination; and a processor that sets a movement prohibition area of the movable object in the map information based on information on an obstacle obtained from outside, and reviews the movement path of the movable object based on a current position, the destination, and the set movement prohibition area of the movable object.

Systems and methods for providing UAV-based digital escort drones in visitor management and access control systems are provided. A visitor management and access control system can identify a need for escorting a visitor through the region and transmit a signal to a drone that identifies a starting location and a destination location in the region. Responsive to receiving the signal, the drone can escort the visitor along a path from the starting location to the destination location, and an access privilege device carried by the drone can open a secured door or access a secured area along the path.

A control system 2 for a flying object includes at least one marker 6, which corresponds to control information related to the control of the flying object, a reading unit 12 for reading the control information, and a flight information transmitting unit 14 for transmitting flight information to the flying object based on the control information read by the reading unit.

Device for disinfecting an interior space with a cart, which is configured to travel along a path through the interior space, and a germicidal light source, characterized by a drone, which has at least one electric drive for generating lift, wherein the germicidal light source is fastened to the drone and the drone is connected to the cart via an electrical line for supplying energy to the germicidal light source and the electric drive.

An aerial robot includes an image sensor for capturing images of an environment. The robot receives a first image captured at a first location. The robot identifies one or more first pixels in the first image. The first pixels correspond to one or more targeted features of an object identified in the first image. The robot receives a second image captured at the second location. The robot receives its distance data that estimates a movement of the robot from the first location to the second location. The robot identifies second pixels in the second image. The second pixels corresponding to the targeted features of the object as appeared in the second image. The robot determines an estimated distance between the robot and the object based on the changes of locations of the second pixels from the first pixels relative to the movement of the robot provided by the distance data.
