20240158110 · 2024-05-16 · ·

Device, system, and method for Skydiving Robots? which can skydive using customized or off-the-shelf parachutes and deliver civilian or military payloads. The Skydiving Robots can freefall, open the parachute and steer toward the target, carry payloads, operate in the daytime or the pitch black at night using GPS guidance to land precisely. If they exited the plane at up to or over 30,000 feet above ground level (AGL) the final target could be miles away. They are the ideal reconnaissance scouts with a wide array of sensors such as cameras. They can carry payloads and precisely land within a few feet of a target.

METHOD FOR TRAINING AIRCRAFT CONTROL AGENT

An example includes a method for training an agent to control an aircraft. The method includes: selecting, by the agent, first actions for the aircraft to perform within a first environment respectively during first time intervals based on first states of the first environment during the first time intervals, updating the agent based on first rewards that correspond respectively to the first states, selecting, by the agent, second actions for the aircraft to perform within a second environment respectively during second time intervals based on second states of the second environment during the second time intervals, and updating the agent based on second rewards that correspond respectively to the second states. At least one first rule of the first environment is different from at least one rule of the second environment.
