Abstract
Integration between unmanned aerial system and unmanned ground robotic vehicle are disclosed herein. One variation of a robotic system may generally comprise an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), and a base station configured to receive the UAV and replace a spent power supply cartridge from the UAV and further having a charging mechanism configured to wirelessly transfer power to the UGV when the UGV is positioned in proximity to the charging pad.
Claims15
A robotic system, comprising:
- an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) configured with a first predetermined mission profile having one or more predetermined UAV waypoints;
- an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) configured with a second predetermined mission profile having one or more predetermined UGV waypoints;
- a base station configured to receive the UAV and further having a charging mechanism configured to transfer power to the UGV,
- wherein the first predetermined mission profile and/or the second predetermined mission profile are reconfigurable to divert the UAV and/or UGV to an area of interest when an external alarm is triggered within the area of interest and an affirmation or selective affirmation to divert the UAV and/or UGV to the area of interest is received.
1 more element
A method of monitoring an area, comprising:
- communicating with a UAV and/or a UGV via a base station, wherein the UAV is configured with a first predetermined mission profile having one or more predetermined UAV waypoints and the UGV is configured with a second predetermined mission profile having one or more predetermined UGV waypoints;
- altering the first predetermined mission profile and/or the second predetermined mission profile to divert the UAV and/or UGV to an area of interest when an external alarm is triggered within the area of interest;
- and
- deploying or diverting the UAV alone, the UGV alone, or the UAV and UGV simultaneously to the area of interest upon receiving an affirmation or selective affirmation.
