Patent number: 11906961Abstract: Systems and methods of unmanned vehicles having self-calibrating sensors and actuators are provided. The unmanned vehicle comprises a communication interface and a processor for controlling a propulsion system of the vehicle and receiving sensor data from one or more sensors of the vehicle. The processor is configured to operate in a guided calibration mode by controlling the propulsion system according to commands received from an external guided control system, while processing the sensor data to determine a degree of certainty on a calibration the sensor data and a position of the vehicle. The processor determines that the degree of certainty is above a threshold value associated with safe operation of the propulsion system in an autonomous calibration mode, and subsequently switch operation of the propulsion system to the autonomous calibration mode based on the determination that the degree of certainty is above the threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2021Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: CLEARPATH ROBOTICS INC.Inventors: Ryan Christopher Gariepy, Kareem Shehata, Prasenjit Mukherjee, Anthony Tod, Teyvonia Thomas, Yan Ma

Patent number: 9841761Abstract: A system is provided comprising a control station for remotely controlling unmanned aerial vehicles (“UAV”). The control station is configured to display vehicle status data received from each UAV, including displaying a location of each UAV in a single interface. Through the single interface, the control station may receive a control command input associated with one of the UAVs. The control station may transmit the received control command, or a command derived therefrom, to the respective UAV. The single interface may provide for a user to view and control flight operation of each of the UAVs independently through the single interface.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2013Date of Patent: December 12, 2017Assignee: AERYON LABS INC.Inventors: Kareem Shehata, Matthew Thiffault, James Thomas Pike, Michael Peasgood, Thomas Nagy
