  • Patent number: 11983020
    Abstract: An automated modular vehicle configuration system and method that comprises a Configuration Management Unit in the vehicle that detects assemblies attached to the vehicle and configures the vehicle's autopilot based on the detected assemblies. Each attached assembly comprises mechanical and electrical components, ports and a memory device that contains identification information and data related to the assembly, such as assembly type, propulsion type, position, flight time, manufacturing date. Users can swap assemblies on the vehicle in order to provide different features to the vehicle. In particular this invention relates to drone vehicles that can be configured with different types of propulsion systems with different performance profiles and equipment such as gimbals, cameras, landing gear, measurement payloads and such. The invention also automatically downloads vehicle configuration parameters and autopilot firmware updates.

  • Patent number: 11898331
    Abstract: A machine may receive, from one or more sensors, first data indicating a first position of a work implement within an environment and second data indicating a second position of the work implement within the environment. Based on the first position and the second position, the machine may define a working area of the work implement. The machine may receive, from one or more cameras, image data depicting at least a portion of the environment and at least a portion an object disposed within a field of view of the one or more cameras. The machine may determine, based on the image data, that the object is located outside of the working area. Based on determining that the object is located outside of the working area, the machine may refrain from causing output of an alert indicating the presence of the object outside the working area.
