Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is disclosed. The UAV comprises a battery, a flight mechanism, a radio frequency (RF) transceiver, a processor, a memory, and an application stored in the memory. When executed by the processor, the application discovers an environment where the UAV operates by flying in the environment to determine its boundaries; creates a map of the environment that the UAV flew through; and shares the map with a social robot. The application receives a command from the social robot via the RF transceiver, wherein the social robot receives a verbal request from a user of the social robot, wherein the social robot transforms the user request to a command for the UAV. The application then performs the command from the social robot. The application then lands on a designated charging pad to conserve energy. The application then transmits a report back to the social robot.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), comprising: a battery; a flight mechanism actuated by at least one electric motor powered by the battery; a radio frequency transceiver; a processor; a memory; and an application, stored in the memory that, when executed by the processor, discovers an area of the environment where the UAV operates by flying in the environment to determine its boundaries, creates a map of the environment that the UAV flew through,…
