DISTRIBUTED UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE ARCHITECTURE

摘要

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for a distributed system architecture for unmanned air vehicles. One of the methods includes obtaining information identifying flight information of a UAV, with the flight information including flight phase information or a contingency condition associated with a flight critical module included in the UAV. The obtained information is analyzed, and one or more first payload modules are determined to enter a modified power state. Requests to enter the modified power state are caused to be transmitted to each determined payload module in the one or more first payload modules.

主权项

1. A system included in an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the system comprising one or more processors and one or more computer storage media storing instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
obtaining flight information of the UAV comprising flight phase information or a contingency condition; determining, based on an analysis of the flight information, one or more modifications associated with (1) one or more modules use of one or more data buses to provide data messages over the data buses, and/or (2) delivery of provided data messages over the data buses from, or to, one or more modules; and causing the modules to use the data buses, and/or data messages to be delivered over the data buses, based on the modifications.
