MUMBAI, India, June 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517046846 A) filed by Wing Aviation Llc, Palo Alto, U.S.A., on May 15, for 'context-based navigation of uncrewed vehicles using relative position markers.'
Inventor(s) include Hammond, Marcus.
The application for the patent was published on June 6, under issue no. 23/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "In an example embodiment, a method carried out by an uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) may involve receiving a reference map of a cluster of charging pads from a server. The cluster may include a. layout of charging pads and fiducial markers distributed across the layout, the reference map representing the layout and fiducial markers. The UAV may fly to the cluster and acquire an image of charging pads and observed fiducial markers near die charging pads. The image may capture an observed constellation of fiducial markers at apparent positions and orientations relative to the charging pads. A reference constellation of fiducial markers at reference positions and orientations relative to reference charging pads may be identified in the reference map. Identities of the reference charging pads and a match of the reference constellation to the observed constellation may be used to disambiguate a particular charging pad from among the charging pads."
The patent application was internationally filed on Nov. 06, 2023, under International application No.PCT/US2023/078831.
