| 20120268587 | CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A REMOTE VEHICLE - A system for controlling a remote vehicle, the system comprising: a hand-held controller having a plurality of buttons; a display including a graphical user interface having soft buttons; and a processor in communication with the hand-held controller and the display. Buttons of the hand-held controller are mapped to soft buttons of the graphical user interface to allow actuation of soft buttons of the graphical user interface, and the hand-held controller is capable of switching between two or more button function modes, wherein each button function mode assigns different functions to one or more of the buttons of the hand-held controller. | 10-25-2012 |
| 20120300059 | Method to inspect components of a wind turbine - An unmanned aerial vehicle is guided to the component for the inspection. A certain predefined distance between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the component is chosen in a way that high resolution images of the component are gathered by the unmanned aerial vehicle. The images are gathered by an image acquisition system. The inspection is done remote controlled and based on the images, which are gathered by the unmanned aerial vehicle. | 11-29-2012 |
| 20120307042 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE - An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a driving unit and a control unit. The control unit detects a human figure in an image of a scene of a monitored area, determines coordinate differences between the scene image's center and the figure image's center, and determines a tilt direction and a tilt angle of a lens of the image capture unit based on the coordinate differences. If the tilt angle falls within an allowable rotation range of the lens, the control unit controls the driving unit to directly rotate the lens by the tilt angle along the tilt direction. Otherwise, the control unit controls the driving unit to rotate the lens by a threshold angle along the tilt direction, and further controls the driving unit to adjust a flight orientation and a flight height of the UAV until the figure image's center superposes the scene image's center. | 12-06-2012 |
| 20130155221 | MOBILE ROBOT WITH A HEAD-BASED MOVEMENT MAPPING SCHEME - A robotic system that includes a mobile robot and a remote input device. The input device may be a joystick that is used to move a camera and a mobile platform of the robot. The system may operate in a mode where the mobile platform moves in a camera reference coordinate system. The camera reference coordinate system is fixed to a viewing image provided by the camera so that movement of the robot corresponds to a direction viewed on a screen. This prevents disorientation during movement of the robot if the camera is panned across a viewing area. | 06-20-2013 |
| 20130176423 | METHOD FOR PILOTING A ROTARY WING DRONE FOR TAKING AN EXPOSURE THROUGH AN ONBOARD CAMERA WITH MINIMIZATION OF THE DISTURBING MOVEMENTS - The drone ( | 07-11-2013 |
| 20130278753 | Specialty GAS Detection Method and Specialty GAS Detection Cart Implementing Same - The present invention provides a specialty gas detection method and a specialty gas detection cart for implementing the method. The method includes (1) providing a specialty gas detection cart and a control station; (2) connecting the control station and the specialty gas detection cart to each other in a wireless manner; (3) the specialty gas detector collecting gas information from the environment where the detector is located and transmitting the collected gas information to the data processor to allow the data processor to process the gas information and transmit the result of processing of the gas information via the first wireless transceiver device to the control station; and (4) the control station receiving the result of processing of the gas information and displaying the result of processing of the gas information. Remote monitoring of a specialty gas leakage site can thus be made through the specialty gas detection cart. | 10-24-2013 |
| 20140015959 | POOL CLEANING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A pool cleaning system utilizes a powered robotic surface cleaning vehicle to travel adjacent water containing surfaces of a pool while submerged within the pool. In one implementation, a camera captures movement of the vehicle. In one implementation, a dry station serve the intermediary across a wide area network between the vehicle and a server which communicates with the portable electronic device. | 01-16-2014 |
| 20140063231 | ELECTRONICS MODULE FOR MIRRORS - An electronics module is attachable to an exterior mirror of a vehicle and supports a camera and/or a display. The electronics module may be an add-on device that is retrofittable to the exterior mirror. The display may be arranged to display an indication of a distance between a back of the vehicle and an object. | 03-06-2014 |
| 20140362210 | REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR POINTING ROBOT - There is provided a remote control system including a controlled device and a remote device. The controlled device has a light source and moves according to a control signal from the remote device. The remote device is adapted to be operated by a user and includes an image sensor. The remote device determines a moving direction of the controlled device according to an imaging position of the light source in the image captured by the image sensor and a pointing position of the user, and outputs the control signal. | 12-11-2014 |
| 20160004251 | DATA TRANSMISSION AND CONTROL OVER POWER CONDUCTORS - A system for controlling a subsea device comprises a complimentary set of data communication interfaces operatively coupled to an electronically interrogatable component of a subsea device and a remotely disposed device controller via a power conductor which defined data pathway between the subsea device and the remotely disposed device controller. A data transceiver is operatively coupled to the electronically interrogatable component and the remotely disposed device controller via the complimentary set of data communication interfaces over the power conductor. In configurations, control and/or telemetry or other data may be unidirectionally and/or bidirectionally transmitted between the electronically interrogatable component of a subsea device and a remotely disposed device controller. In configurations, data faults may be monitored in a primary data path and, if a fault detected, control and/or telemetry or other data transmission switched to the power conductor data pathway, manually and/or automatically. | 01-07-2016 |
