Abstract
An unmanned aerial vehicle (“UAV”) system for fluid transport includes a UAV having a fluid chamber configured to transport a fluid, a processor, and a memory. The memory includes instructions which, when executed by the processor, may cause the system to receive a first location for collecting or releasing a fluid, determine a fluid level of the fluid chamber, and transport the fluid by the UAV to the first location based on the determined fluid level.
Claims20
An unmanned aerial vehicle (“UAV”) system for fluid transport, the UAV system comprising:
- a UAV including:
- a fluid chamber configured to transport a fluid;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory, including instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the system to:
- receive a first location for at least one of collecting or delivering a fluid;
- determine a fluid level of the fluid chamber;
- and
- transport the fluid by the UAV to or from the first location based on the determined fluid level.
A method for fluid transport, the method comprising:
- receiving a first location for collecting a fluid, by an unmanned aerial vehicle (“UAV”) including a controller and a fluid chamber, the fluid chamber configured to transport the fluid;
- determining, by the controller, a fluid level of the fluid in the fluid chamber relative to a pre-determined fluid level for the fluid;
- and
- transporting the fluid by the UAV to a second location based on the determined fluid level.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a controller to execute a method for fluid transport, the method comprising:
- receiving a first location for collecting a fluid, by an unmanned aerial vehicle (“UAV”) including a controller and a fluid chamber, the fluid chamber configured to transport the fluid;
- determining, by the controller, a fluid level of the fluid in the fluid chamber relative to a pre-determined fluid level for the fluid;
- and
- transporting the fluid by the UAV to a second location based on the determined fluid level.
