This invention describes a system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to avoid collisions. It analyzes a UAV's location data with broader air traffic information from a server to detect potential conflicts. If a collision risk is found, the system automatically calculates and transmits a new, safer flight path to the UAV, specifically using route planning and cost models to determine the most efficient alternative.
Why it matters: Filed as UAV traffic management was emerging. Advances in AI and machine learning since 2022 now offer more sophisticated and efficient ways to implement the claimed route planning and cost models for deconfliction.
AI gives you a few directions you could take this. Pick one, and we check whether your version is different enough to patent, then write the filing.
