Abstract
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for transporting items between locations includes a frame and a propulsion system coupled to the frame, the propulsion system including at least one transmission and at least one motor. The UAV also includes a load support area of the frame, the load support area comprising at least one of a different material than the frame or structural supports.
Claims21
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for transporting items between locations, comprising:
- a frame;
- a propulsion system coupled to the frame, the propulsion system including at least one transmission and at least one motor;
- and
- a load support area of the frame, the load support area comprising at least one of a different material than the frame or structural supports.
1 more element
A system for transporting an item from a first location to a second location, comprising:
- an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), comprising:
- a frame;
- a propulsion system coupled to the frame;
- and
- a load support area of the frame, the load support area comprising at least one of a different material than the frame or structural supports;
- a load coupled to the load support area;
- and
- a load positioning system, comprising:
- a load positioning controller, associated with the UAV, the load positioning controller determining a relative position of the load with respect to at least one of the UAV, the first location, or the second location;
- a load location device, arranged proximate the load, the load location device transmitting a signal to the load positioning controller indicative of a load location;
- and
- a placement location device, arranged at the second location, the placement location device transmitting a signal to the load positioning controller indicative of the second location relative to the UAV.
9 more elements
A method for transporting an item between a first location and a second location, comprising:
- securing the item to a load support area of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV);
- activating a load location device, arranged proximate the item;
- causing the UAV to move to the second location;
- receiving a signal, from a placement location device, indicative of the second location;
- and
- positioning the item at the second location.
