Abstract:

Techniques for determining an error model based on vehicle data and ground truth data are discussed herein. To determine whether a complex system (which may be not capable of being inspected) is able to operate safely, various operating regimes (scenarios) can be identified based on operating data. To provide safe operation of such a system, an error model can be determined that can provide a probability associated with perception data and a vehicle can determine a trajectory based on the probability of an error associated with the perception data.

International Classification:

G06F 17/50
G05D 1/00

Abstract:

Techniques for determining a safety metric associated with a vehicle controller are discussed herein. To determine whether a complex system (which may be uninspectable) is able to operate safely, various operating regimes (scenarios) can be identified based on operating data and associated with a scenario parameter to be adjusted. To validate safe operation of such a system, a scenario may be identified for inspection. Error metrics of a subsystem of the system can be quantified. The error metrics, in addition to stochastic errors of other systems/subsystems can be introduced to the scenario. The scenario parameter may also be perturbed. Any multitude of such perturbations can be instantiated in a simulation to test, for example, a vehicle controller. A safety metric associated with the vehicle controller can be determined based on the simulation, as well as causes for any failures.

Abstract:

The present disclosure pertains to self-piloted, electric vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft that are safe, low-noise, and cost-effective to operate for cargo-carrying and passenger-carrying applications over relatively long ranges. A VTOL aircraft has at least one wing that is rotatable relative to a fuselage of the VTOL aircraft for transitioning the VTOL aircraft between a hover configuration and a forward-flight configuration. Rotation of the wing may be passively controlled using aerodynamic forces, thereby obviating the need of using an actuator for actively controlling the rotation.

Appl. No.:

13/804527

Inventors:

Zee.Aero Inc. - , US
Rodin Lyasoff - San Francisco CA, US

Assignee:

ZEE.AERO INC. - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

F04D 19/02

US Classification:

415 60

Abstract:

A vertical takeoff and landing aircraft includes rotors that provide vertical and horizontal thrust. During forward motion, the vertical lift system is inactive. A lift fan mechanism positions the fan blades of the aircraft in a collapsed configuration when the vertical lift system is inactive and positions the fan blades of the aircraft in a deployed configuration when the vertical lift system is active.
