Abstract: Resilient unmanned aerial vehicle landing platforms are disclosed herein. An example device includes a base plate having protuberances that are arranged into rows of concentric rings, each of the protuberances being a conical member that extends orthogonally from the base plate, wherein each of the protuberances is resilient and are adapted to arrest and protect the drone during landing.

Abstract: A vehicle integrated unmanned aerial system is disclosed. The system may include a vehicle and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The vehicle may include a vehicle processor configured to obtain a vehicle telemetry information from a vehicle telemetry unit and a user input from a vehicle user. Further, the vehicle may include a transmitter that may be configured to transmit the vehicle telemetry information and the user input to the UAV. The UAV may include a UAV receiver configured to receive the vehicle telemetry information and the user input. Further, the UAV may include a UAV processor that may be configured to obtain the vehicle telemetry information and the vehicle user from the UAV receiver and predict a vehicle movement based on the vehicle telemetry information. The UAV processor may be further configured to maneuver the UAV based on the predicted vehicle movement and the user input.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a moonroof accessory panel. The moonroof accessory panel may be a structure that may be removably attached to a moonroof area of a vehicle. The moonroof accessory panel may be used to hold a drone associated with the vehicle such that the drone may take-off from and land on the moonroof accessory panel. The top of the moonroof accessory panel may also be accessible from the cabin of the vehicle such that a user may place the drone on top of the moonroof accessory panel while inside the cabin. The moonroof accessory panel may also be used for other purposes beyond holding drones as well.

Abstract: An exemplary battery assembly includes an enclosure defining an interior, and a service panel that covers an opening to the interior. The service panel is held relative to the enclosure by a clip. An exemplary method includes covering an opening in an enclosure with a service panel that is clipped to the enclosure. The opening permits access to a serviceable part housed inside of the enclosure assembly prior to the covering.
