SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING A VEHICLE BY TELEOPERATION BASED ON A SPEED LIMITER
This disclosure provides systems and methods for controlling a vehicle by teleoperation based on a speed limiter. The method may include: receiving, at the autonomous vehicle, a teleoperation input from a teleoperation system, wherein the teleoperation input comprises a throttle control input for remotely controlling a speed of the autonomous vehicle; determining the speed of the autonomous vehicle; determining if the speed of the autonomous vehicle has reached a threshold speed below a speed limit; and upon determining that the speed of the autonomous vehicle has reached the threshold speed, reducing effect of the throttle control input from the teleoperation system such that an acceleration rate of the speed of the autonomous vehicle is reduced.
FAILURE PREDICTION AND RISK MITIGATION IN SMALL UNCREWED AERIAL SYSTEMS
A computer-implemented system and associated method of operating a Small Uncrewed Aircraft System (SUAS) including at least one Small Uncrewed Aircraft or drone. The method comprises capturing data during operation of the SUAS from a number of sensors of different types, performing analysis on the captured data using one or more Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) models that have been trained on data sets including historical SUAS data and SUAS system fault data, to predict or identify a potential SUAS failure mode, and when a potential failure mode is predicted or identified, providing a course of action for further operation of the SUAS based on a severity and predicted timing of the SUAS failure mode.
REMOTE SUPPORT SYSTEM AND REMOTE SUPPORT METHOD
A remote support system performs a remote support of a moving body. The remote support system includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to acquire, via communication, a first video shot with a first infrastructure camera installed in a target area in which the moving body moves. The processing circuitry is configured to present the first video to a remote supporter to perform the remote support for the moving body. When an abnormality occurs in the first video, the processing circuitry is configured to execute an abnormality handling process to resolve the abnormality in the first video or to present a substitute video to the remote supporter instead of the first video.

UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE RETURN FLIGHT METHOD AND APPARATUS, UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
A return method or device for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a UAV and a storage medium are provided. The method includes: detecting whether a sensor for obstacle avoidance fails; if the sensor fails, determining a return path of the UAV based on a first return strategy; if the sensor operates normally, determining the return path of the UAV based on a second return strategy; the first return strategy includes controlling the UAV to fly to a return altitude; the second return strategy includes determining the return path of the UAV based on detection data from the sensor. The combination of these two return strategies can achieve a balance between the return efficiency and safety of the UAV.
CONVEYANCE SYSTEM AND CONVEYANCE CONTROL METHOD
A conveyance system comprising a conveyance vehicle that conveys an object to be conveyed and a control device that controls operation of the conveyance vehicle, wherein the conveyance vehicle includes a guide line detecting unit that detects a guide line laid along a travel route; a travel controlling unit that makes the conveyance vehicle travel along the guide line; and an own conveyance vehicle position estimating unit that estimates a position of an own conveyance vehicle; and the control device includes a recording unit that records map information including position information of the guide line; and makes the conveyance vehicle travel to the guide line in the map information, when the position of the own conveyance vehicle estimated by the own conveyance vehicle estimating unit is more than a predetermined distance away from the position of the guide line in the map information.
RETURN FLIGHT METHOD AND APPARATUS OF UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE, UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE, REMOTE CONTROL DEVICE, SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
A return method and device for an aerial vehicle are provided. The method includes: during a flight process of the aerial vehicle, performing real-time planning on a return path from a current position of the aerial vehicle to a return position; performing real-time transmission of the return path to a terminal device to display the return path on a display interface. The aerial vehicle plans the return path in real-time during flight and sends it in real-time to the terminal device for display. This allows users to timely understand the planned return path of the aerial vehicle. Even in the event of a loss of connection between the aerial vehicle and the terminal device, the terminal device can display the return path based on the previously received information, thereby enhancing the safety of aerial vehicle return.
