  • Automated thermographic inspection for composite structures
    Patent number: 10732047
    Abstract: Methods for detecting irregularities in a composite structure can include obtaining temperature data from a surface of the composite structure while the composite structure undergoes a thermal change. An irregularity in the composite structure is detected based on the temperature data.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 14, 2018
    Date of Patent: August 4, 2020
    Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Prescott Gee Glynn, Robert Todd Marks, Steven McGinnis, Armando Medina Romero, Mark Gerald Munster, Jr., Adrian Timothy Wallace
  • Automated fulfillment of unmanned aerial vehicles
    Patent number: 10266346
    Abstract: A method and system for evaluating and loading vehicles (e.g., aerial vehicles and other vehicles) are described herein. The vehicles are moved by a conveyance device. It may be determined whether a vehicle passes at least one of a structural integrity test or a functionality test. The vehicle may be removed from the conveyance device, e.g., by a robotic manipulator, in the event the vehicle fails at least one of the structural integrity test or the functionality test.

  • Thermographic inspection process for composite vehicle and components
    Patent number: 10175186
    Abstract: Methods for detecting irregularities in a composite vehicle can include cooling the composite vehicle to a substantially uniform first temperature, heating a surface of the composite vehicle to a second temperature that is higher than the first temperature, and obtaining temperature data from the composite vehicle after the surface has been heated. An irregularity in the composite vehicle is detected based on the temperature data.

  • Automated fulfillment of unmanned aerial vehicles
    Patent number: 9815633
    Abstract: A method and system for evaluating and loading unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are described. The UAVs are moved by a conveyance device. It may be determined whether the UAV passes at least one of a structural integrity test or a functionality test. The UAV may be removed from the conveyance device in the event the UAV fails at least one of the structural integrity test or the functionality test. A package may be loaded into a compartment of the UAV in the event the UAV passes the structural integrity test and the functionality test.
