Applications And Skills For An Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240288862 titled 'Applications And Skills For An Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

The abstract describes techniques for developing and using applications and skills with autonomous vehicles. A development platform is provided to enable access to a developer console for creating software modules for autonomous vehicles. Developers can specify instructions for the autonomous vehicle to perform operations by generating calls to an API associated with the vehicle's navigation system. These instructions can adjust parameters of a behavioral objective to control the vehicle's behavior. The specified instructions are packaged as a software module for deployment on autonomous vehicles.

Original Abstract Submitted

techniques are described for developing and using applications and skills with autonomous vehicles. in some embodiments, a development platform is provided that enables access to a developer console for developing software modules for use with autonomous vehicles. for example, a developer can specify instructions for causing an autonomous vehicle to perform one or more operations. to control the behavior of an autonomous vehicle, the instructions can cause an executing computer system at the autonomous vehicle to generate calls to an application programming interface (api) associated with an autonomous navigation system of autonomous vehicle. such calls to the api can be configured to adjust parameters of a behavioral objective associated with a trajectory generation process performed by the autonomous navigation system that controls the behavior of the autonomous vehicle. the instructions specified by the developer can be packaged as a software module that can be deployed for use at autonomous vehicle.
