  • Autonomously guiding vehicles through orifices
    Patent number: 10569876
    Abstract: This document generally describes a safe-passage guidance strategy developed in a relative velocity framework to enable a generic aerial robot execute a precision three-dimensional maneuver through a narrow orifice in a wall. The relative sizes of the robot and the orifice can be such that the orifice is only slightly larger than the robot. The orifice can be approximated as an elliptical shape, and analytical nonlinear guidance laws incorporating state-based switching can be derived. Guidance laws can be used to maneuver the robot through both fixed and moving orifices as well as in scenarios when the orifice is closing with time.
    Type: Grant

  • Detection of nuclear spills using swarm optimization algorithms
    Patent number: 8838271
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for localizing a radiation or chemical source utilizing a swarm of robotic devices. According to one example, a robotic device will attempt to localize a source by measuring the concentration of source particles in air, and operating in a Chemotactic state, an Anemotactic state, or a Spiraling state.
