  • Publication number: 20260184448
    Abstract: A drone system for collecting structural condition data about a structure having an array of sensors disposed at various locations on the structure and methods of using such a drone system are disclosed herein. The drone inspection system leverages neural networks to calculate a drone flight path to classify the location of passive sensors and calculate a drone flight path to collect structural condition data about the structure using line of sight sensors for digital twin generation. Some of the sensors disposed on the structure may be passive sensors that comprise energy harvesters and must be energized to report the structural collection data to the drone. The drone inspection system may comprise an energy transfer module for energizing the passive sensor via the energy harvester.

  • Publication number: 20250316178
    Abstract: A HAPS platform may execute a neural network (a “HAPSNN”) as it monitors air traffic; the neural network enables it to classify, predict, and resolve events in its airspace of coverage in real time as well as learn from new events that have never before been seen or detected. The HAPSNN-equipped HAPS platform may provide surveillance of nearly 100% of air traffic in its airspace of coverage, and the HAPSNN may process data received from a drone to facilitate safe and efficient drone operation within an airspace.

  • Publication number: 20250087101
    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or “drone” executes a neural network to assist with detecting and responding to attacks. The neural network may monitor, in real time, the data stream from a plurality of onboard sensors during navigation and may communicate with a high-altitude pseudosatellite (“HAPS”) platform For example, if the neural network detects a cyber-attack but determines that it does not interfere with external communications, it may shift navigation control of the drone to the HAPS.

  • Patent number: 12175876
    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or “drone” executes a neural network to assist with inspection, surveillance, reporting, and other missions. The drone inspection neural network may monitor, in real time, the data stream from a plurality of onboard sensors during navigation to an asset along a preprogrammed flight path and/or during its mission (e.g., as it scans and inspects an asset).
