Embodiment Construction

[0019] Various embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts. References made to particular examples and implementations are for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of the claims.

[0020] Aerial vehicles, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), can be used to perform monitoring, reconnaissance and exploration missions for military and civilian applications. Such aircraft may carry payloads configured to perform specific functions, such as personal photography and videography. Additionally, the UAV can be configured to track and follow the user (eg, "follow me" mode). However, UAVs have not been used in pedestrian safety applications.

[0021] The various systems and methods described herein provide a UAV configured to stay near a user (e.g., pedestrian, jogger, cyclist, etc.) as the user trav...

Abstract

Various methods for monitoring hazards to a user with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may include maintaining the UAV in a monitoring position relative to the user, monitoring the area around the user for approaching objects, detecting the approaching object, determining whether the approaching object is A danger is presented to the user, and in response to determining that the proximity of the object poses a danger to the user, one or more actions are performed to mitigate the proximity of the object.

Description

Background technique [0001] Accidents between vehicles and pedestrians and cyclists are common. Such accidents may be caused by other reasons such as poor visibility, poor weather conditions, inattentive drivers and / or pedestrians, blind spots and pedestrians not being seen by the driver, and vice versa. Such accidents often result in serious injury or death to pedestrians or cyclists. Injuries can be especially severe for young children, the elderly, and people with disabilities. [0002] Solutions for preventing vehicle / pedestrian accidents typically focus on the vehicle. For example, signs or other safety measures can be placed on the road to draw motorists' attention to dangerous areas. Vehicles can also be designed to sense the environment around the vehicle and warn the driver of hazards. Some of the latest high-end models include sensors that can detect pedestrians / cyclists and automatically apply the brakes. However, safety solutions generally do not target pedest...
