Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems, methods and programs for maneuvering unmanned vehicles. More specifically, the disclosure relates to systems, methods and programs for controlling maneuverability of unmanned vehicles (ground, aerial and marine) by coupling vehicle controls with point of regard (PoR) in a 2D plane, translated to a continuously updating flight vector in a 3D space, based on 12 DOF head pose and/or hand gesture of a user.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure may include a method to augment pilot control of a drone, the method including receiving a planned flight route. Embodiments may also include receiving sensor information from an at least one environment sensor along the planned flight route. In some embodiments, the at least one environment sensor may be located at a predefined location. Embodiments may also include estimating a drone location from the sensor information. Embodiments may also include receiving a speed vector of the drone. Embodiments may also include comparing the drone location to an expected drone location along the planned flight route. Embodiments may also include deriving a flight control command and a speed vector command to return the drone to a point along the planned flight route.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method to facilitate remote and accurate maneuvering of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) under communication latency. The UAV provides a ground control station (GCS), with a video feed of an area of interest (AOI), after a time T from actual capturing of the video by the UAV, due to latency in video and communication between the UAV and the GCS. The GCS further receives control commands directly from a controller of the user, and transmit the video feed along with interactive marker(s), step by step marking of singular points using raycast vector, and/or virtual UAV being overlaid on top of the video feed to a display module or VR headset associated with the user, to facilitate the user to assess how much movement the user is exerting on the UAV through the controller, and also see how the actual UAV will perform or maneuver in the AOI after time T, thereby facilitating the user to continuously assess and rectify maneuvering or directing of the UAV in the AOI.

Abstract: Disclosed is a WiFi connected power outlet, or devices controlled by WiFi devices. A relay, solid state switch, or other is used to reversibly connect devices to the mains power, optionally implementing pulse width modulation, voltage modulation, or other means for continuously varying power delivered to a load. A manual on/off switch is further provided to allow the user to manually connected and disconnect loads from mains power. Control and status signals (including power consumption) may be relayed from device to device, effectively extending the range of such a network.
