Abstract: A drone comprising a camera and a controller. The camera is configured to output data representing an object within a field of view of the camera. The controller is configured to attempt to maintain a visual line of sight with the object. The controller is also configured to cause control equipment of an operator of the drone to notify the operator of the drone, visually, audibly and/or haptically, as to whether or not the object is being tracked by the drone.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV, comprises a plurality of lighting sources. The plurality of lighting sources comprises at least one lighting element operable to illuminate below the UAV and at least one lighting element operable to illuminate above the UAV. The UAV is configured to: (i) receive energy from at least one battery of a vehicle via a physical connection with an interior of the vehicle; (ii) use the received energy to charge at least one battery of the UAV; and (iii) use the at least one battery of the UAV, charged using the received energy, to power the plurality of light sources.

Abstract: Various measures (for example methods, UAVs, controllers and computer programs) are provided in relation to controlling a UAV. The UAV is caused to provide energy to and receive energy from a given vehicle. The received energy is used to provide power to at least one component of the UAV.

Abstract: A UAV comprises a camera and a controller. The controller is configured to: (a) receive image data from the camera, (b) determine, based on the received image data, whether or not a predetermined visibility condition associated with an operator of the UAV is satisfied, and (c) perform a predetermined action to attempt to operate in accordance with a predetermined visibility state with respect to the operator of the UAV based on a result of the determination.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV comprises at least ten cameras. The at least ten cameras comprise at least two upwards-facing cameras, at least two downward-facing cameras, at least two forward-facing cameras, at least two backward-facing cameras, and at least two sideways-facing cameras. The UAV also comprises at least two upwards-facing lights.

Abstract: A system comprises an unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV. The UAV comprises a camera having one or more camera properties. The system is configured to provide privacy in relation to the camera when the UAV is below a predetermined altitude. The system is configured such that said privacy in relation to the camera is not provided when the UAV is above said predetermined altitude.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV, is operable in an autonomous mode. The UAV comprises an upwards-configurable sensor an actuator and a controller. The upwards-configurable sensor is configurable in an upwards-facing configuration during an autonomous procedure such that a field of view of the upwards-configurable sensor includes airspace directly above the UAV during the autonomous procedure. The controller is operable to control the actuator during the autonomous procedure based on data captured by the upwards-configurable sensor to cause the UAV to make physical contact with an object in the airspace directly above the UAV during the autonomous procedure.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) comprises a controller. The controller of the UAV causes the UAV to access an interior of an object. The controller of the UAV causes the UAV to clean at least part of the interior of the object.

Abstract: A UAV comprises a camera and an image processor. The camera is operable to output captured image data corresponding to a first representation of a scene within a field of view of the camera. The scene includes an item. The image processor is configured to receive the captured image data. The image processor is configured, in response to recognising a predetermined object indicative of the presence of the item in the first representation, to generate image data corresponding to a second, different representation of the scene. A part of the scene that is associated with the item in the first representation is represented differently in the first and second representations. The image processor is configured to output the generated image data.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV, includes (i) a camera having a field of vision including, in use, a portion of a vehicle to be cleaned, (ii) a liquid container comprising waterless carwash liquid, (iii) a liquid dispenser operable to cause the waterless carwash liquid comprised in the liquid container to be dispensed from the liquid container, (iv) a cleaning implement, and (v) a controller communicatively coupled to the camera, the liquid dispenser and the cleaning implement. The controller is operable (a) to cause the liquid dispenser to dispense the waterless carwash liquid from the liquid container onto the portion of the vehicle to be cleaned and (b) to control the cleaning implement to clean the portion of the vehicle to be cleaned.
