Patent number: 10676216Abstract: A station for compliance testing of unmanned vehicles comprises a dedicated area for acceptance of an unmanned vehicle. The dedicated area is configured for permitting the unmanned vehicle to be in a first inspection position. The station further comprises a transmitter. The transmitter is directed towards the dedicated area. The transmitter is configured to instruct the unmanned vehicle to perform a behavior. The station further comprises a sensor. The sensor is directed towards the dedicated area. The sensor is configured to detect a non-compliance of the unmanned vehicle. The detected non-compliance is in response to the instructed performed behavior of the unmanned vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2018Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yuk L. Chan, Eileen P. Tedesco, Kyle Gilbertson, Daniel F. Hogerty, Lawrence A. Clevenger, Benjamin D. Briggs

Patent number: 10629009Abstract: An unmanned vehicle is identified. One or more specifications of the unmanned vehicle are retrieved in response to the identification. A first characteristic of the unmanned vehicle is observed. The observed first characteristic is compared to the retrieved specifications. A compliance standard of the unmanned vehicle is determined. The determination is based on the comparison.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2018Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yuk L. Chan, Eileen P. Tedesco, Kyle Gilbertson, Daniel F. Hogerty, Lawrence A. Clevenger, Benjamin D. Briggs

Patent number: 10332406Abstract: Technical solutions are described for configuring a dynamic geo-fence includes receiving a plurality of data samples. The method also includes selecting, from the plurality of data samples, a selected data sample as a threshold. The method also includes configuring a geo-fence for a geographic area based on the selected data sample. The method also includes adjusting an operational characteristic of a drone while the drone is in the geographic area, where the operational characteristic is adjusted based on a configuration of the drone and the geo-fence.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2017Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Yuk L. Chan, Kyle E. Gilbertson, Daniel F. Hogerty, Eileen P. Tedesco
