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