SYSTEM AND METHOD OF COLLISION AVOIDANCE IN UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES

摘要

A collision avoidance system includes an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a UAV controller, and a safety data aggregator. The UAV includes a positional sensor, and is coupled to communicate positional data to the UAV controller, and receive commands from the UAV controller. The safety data aggregator is coupled to communicate with the UAV controller, wherein the safety data aggregator collects positional data from one or more UAV controllers, stores collected positional data in a safety data buffer, and extracts spatially relevant positional data in response to a request from the UAV controller.

1. A collision avoidance system comprising:
an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that includes a positional sensor; a UAV controller coupled to communicate wirelessly with the UAV, wherein the UAV controller receives safety data from the UAV and provides command instructions to control operation of the UAV, wherein the safety data includes positional data associated with the UAV; and a safety data aggregator coupled to communicate with the UAV controller, wherein the safety data aggregator collects safety data from one or more UAV controllers, stores collected safety data in a safety data buffer, and extracts spatially relevant safety data in response to a request from the UAV controller.
