Abstract: The present invention is directed to gambling system and methods. The systems and methods involve a commit-reveal protocol that is configured to obtain random numbers from a player computer and a casino computer and use the obtained random numbers as seed to execute a random operation of an online game such as online slot machine. The described commit-reveal protocol eliminates extra rounds of communication and ensure a fair outcome. The systems and method may be supported by a blockchain system to further ensure that the operation of the online game is not rigged or false.

Abstract: A system and method for participating in a multi-USV performance in three-dimensional space. The USV can include: a computer processor; a sensory device configured to detect live sensory information relative to a second USV participating in the performance in proximity to the USV; and a spatial control module executing on the computer processor and configured to enable the computer processor to: (i) receive instructions for performing a pre-determined sequence of spatial maneuvers of the performance; (ii) begin execution of the pre-determined sequence of spatial maneuvers according to the instructions; (iii) identify a modified sequence of spatial maneuvers calculated based on the live sensory information from the sensory device; (iv) halt execution of the pre-determined sequence of spatial maneuvers; and/or (v) execute the modified sequence of spatial maneuvers.

Abstract: A system and method for participating in a multi-USV performance in three-dimensional space. The USV can include: a location identification system operable to provide location coordinates, a guidance system operable to guide the USV toward target waypoints, a propulsion system operable to propel the USV, a power supply operable to provide power to components of the USV, and an exoskeleton surrounding the location identification system, the guidance system, the propulsion system, and the power supply, the exoskeleton including a set of sensory devices, and at least one latching mechanism operable to facilitate a docking operation with a proximate USV.
