Abstract

The present invention provides a system for remote vehicle operation by human pilot and artificial intelligence systems. The system comprises: a vehicle capable of movement, a human operator and control station situated outside of the vehicle in a remote location, a bidirectional wireless communications channel, which transmits commands from the control station to the vehicle and which receives information related to the vehicle's state and its environment from the vehicle, and a human interface device conveying information to the human operator and receiving inputs.

IPC Classes  ?

• G05D 1/224 - Output arrangements on the remote controller, e.g. displays, haptics or speakers
• G05D 1/226 - Communication links with the remote-control arrangements
• G05D 1/698 - Control allocation
• G05D 101/15 - Details of software or hardware architectures used for the control of position using artificial intelligence [AI] techniques using machine learning, e.g. neural networks
• G05D 109/25 - Rotorcrafts
• G08G 5/22 - Arrangements for acquiring, generating, sharing or displaying traffic information located on the ground

Abstract

The present invention provides methods and systems for remote operation of a vehicle with the capability to deal with communications jitter and intermittency. In particular, the methods and systems herein may safely predict a remote operator's intent (e.g., remote pilot) over long time scales, and up to the lost link timeout TLL.

IPC Classes  ?

• G05D 1/87 - Arrangements for reacting to or preventing system or operator failure using redundant control arrangements
• G05D 1/222 - Remote-control arrangements operated by humans
• G05D 1/227 - Handing over between remote control and on-board controlHanding over between remote control arrangements
• G05D 109/25 - Rotorcrafts

Abstract

The present invention provides a synthetic vision system to support the piloting of a vehicle. The system may comprise: an immersive display screen and/or head-mounted virtual reality display, one or more real-time sources of information from onboard the vehicle (e.g., aircraft), one or more data sources that are not onboard the vehicle, either stored in memory or accessed in real-time via a communications channel, and a computer with a graphics processing unit to combine multiple sources of data and render them in real-time to be shown to the pilot via the synthetic vision system display.
