  • Patent number: 11970287
    Abstract: An introduced autonomous aerial vehicle can include multiple cameras for capturing images of a surrounding physical environment that are utilized for motion planning by an autonomous navigation system. In some embodiments, the cameras can be integrated into one or more rotor assemblies that house powered rotors to free up space within the body of the aerial vehicle. In an example embodiment, an aerial vehicle includes multiple upward-facing cameras and multiple downward-facing cameras with overlapping fields of view to enable stereoscopic computer vision in a plurality of directions around the aerial vehicle. Similar camera arrangements can also be implemented in fixed-wing aerial vehicles.

  • Patent number: 11470001
    Abstract: The following description is directed to configuring gateways in computer networks. For example, a method includes receiving a first request from a client associated with a configurable network. The first request can request associating a set of network addresses assigned to the configurable network to a gateway. A second request can be received from a client associated with the gateway. The second request can request accepting the association of the first request. It can be determined that the set of network addresses do not overlap with a network address space that is accessible using the gateway. Routing information can be generated for the gateway. The generated routing information can be used to configure the gateway for forwarding network packets between the client private network and the configurable network.

  • Patent number: 9692729
    Abstract: A connectivity manager (CM) of a provider network selects, from a plurality of ERGs (edge resource groups), a particular ERG comprising an edge router and a network marker translation agent to be used for routing traffic between a resource collection of a VCS (virtual computing service) and a client network. The CM detects a condition that triggers the selection of a second ERG to be used for at least a subset of the resource collection's traffic, and initiates a set of configuration changes to enable the use of the second ERG for connectivity between the first resource collection and the client network.
