Confusing Mav Optic Flow Sensors In flight Using Mobiles

Bed Bug Life Cycle :

Using Shapes on Mobiles to confuse optic flow sensors in Micro Air Vehicles appears to be feasible. Today we are learning the flight paths of Bats, Insects even birds to build and fly itsybitsy Uavs; called Micro Air Vehicles or Mavs. There is important investigate being done on this. The goal is to have mini Mavs the size of dragonflies, about 15 Cm, which are autonomous and can fly through tunnels, under tree lines, under small bridges and navigate around obstacles. By using the visual flow sensors a new technology of mind boggling proportions the tiny Mav would take send out pulses and capture images, as the next pulse sees the image again it is bigger, this way the tiny Mav can sense when it is truly big and getting close so it can then fly around it. There are two ideas, one is to use a particular sensor unit and the other is to use multiple sensors. If you have ever studied insects, how they fly and navigate, you can see the enormity of the mathematics and algorithms it takes to make all this happen. Here is how it all works you will have to read all of these papers to understand this concept and to continue such discussion;

By the way compliments to Geoffrey Barrows for his studies and comprehension and new award. Thus creating the fuzzy logic and sets of rules to rule what is an obstacle and what is someone else curious object. If you read one of Tom Clancy's books where these itsybitsy dragon flies with tiny explosives sit in the grass of the enemies runway and wait for an aircraft to take off and fly in a swarm and in front of it and allow themselves to get sucked into the jet engines where on impact with the fan blades explode, taking out the engines thus the aircraft is taken out with a swarm of micro-air-vehicles which seem a bunch of less-than-palm-size insects. Insects have curious characteristics. Such small units may be nearly impossible to shoot down or stop once they are set o their mission.

Using sound maybe simpler than using optic network flow sensors, but the visual flow sensors can deal with more things. For instance a possible mid air collision with a car, person, truck which is also moving. Also a devise, Uav, Mav created to take out someone else Mav, similar to a bat, which can eat 1000 bugs an hour. By lining them up and devouring them as it flies. An anti Mav, Mav, you see? The impending Mav wars will be interesting. For us to use the advantages given to us by evolution and to study the systems, hunting techniques, flows and cycles of organic devices. There are many things going on in species at all times and many dissimilar straightforward systems running simultaneously that are interacting. If you want to get technical you could say the wind, weather, food supply, symbiotic relationships all going on at once in the world of an insect or in the world of a human for that matter. Or a computer working on a decision matrix agenda whose job it is to take into account all these things and use rules to rule what to do.

We must take a seat and truly think and study these things in depth. A good book to get you in the allowable mind set to study these systems is Stephen Wolfram's "A New Kind Of Science." Start Small and end Big coming to the world, where simplicity and complexity are the same. Although it might not be truly spoton in all accounts and often takes liberties of explaining things from a particular theory agenda point of view it will support you in learning the Flows of all things we see and observe.

Optical Flow systems maybe somewhat more complicated and difficult to use than, sonar or sound, they may also add added weight and therefore growth size and you could lose your benefit in that case depending on your mission. The theorize I bring up these matters of how to fool a Mav or defeat one, or kill it, so to speak, since it will be behaving more similarly to an organic motor than a straightforward devise. Well because the academia crowd is sharing facts with other countries. These Mavs after all are a composition of many sciences, many of which are life based, which are not very incommunicable in that anything can sit out side and watch a Bee fly in a zigzag pattern like you have to do when you taxi a tail dragger so you can see where you are going and what is advent up. Now then is an visual sensor truly the best bet? Some of the best and brightest agree that it is. Any way Bats do not crash into things and they use sonar, or do they truly use both optic flow sensors (it's brain and eyes) with the benefit of sonar too? Well at least we know they always turn left when they exit a cave? Interesting.

It appears that the most industrialized studies are based on the Bee for the Mav, which makes a lot of sense. Now then we were talking about originally fooling the optic flow sensors with a spinning mobile like you put above the bed or crib for a small child. When you take dissimilar shapes and spin them, they will screw up the visual flow sensors, because on itsybitsy it will appear they are far away and then the silhouette turns to full size and shape which in the mind of the optic flow sensor appears to be an object advent up fast. Then it becomes small like a B-2 Stealth advent at you, that you cannot see, then it becomes big again when it turns, huge in the mind of the optic flow sensor, causing a reaction of quick turn in trajectory. Then the Mav changes direction and someone else piece on the mobile turns side ways and again cause the unit to turn directions. So then think of the question when you put a few of these things in the path of a Mav or near a window to protect the Head of State of a neighboring ally. Your opponent cannot charge the human being inside because the Mav will turn back, meanwhile assume that other Mavs or objects are curious fast towards it every time it gets close. Thus you have fooled the Mav.

If this works it maybe a good way to keep mosquitoes away from your window without a screen. Although their processing of data even with a tiny brain is much faster than that of the Mav with the multi-optic flow sensor network? Calculations per second are the issue and the speed of flight. Confusing the optic flow sensors on a Mav might be the way to go. Also the variation between sonar or sound and optic flow networked sensors on the same Mav may take into notice these issues and the variation of the combining of data may in fact alleviate the problem. Also leaves falling from trees while flying in the canopy of trees along a road might be difficult since there are many of them and they flip around while they fall, especially in Fall, which is upon us. So this is not time to take a trip with any Mav in autumn. determined things fool insects of determined types, while others have no question working around those challenges. So to will dissimilar Mavs depending on how the networked sensors work, what they mimic and what their strategy is.

It would be safe to say that some dissimilar ideas might be smart for Mav swarms since there is security in numbers and dissimilar missions for each, possibly a mobile to confuse could be attacked by the half backs of the swarm, while the full backs and strikers stay in a retention pattern. If the decoy or optic flow network devise to confuse such as a mobile is rendered impotent then the whole swarm advances. This would be similar to a strategy of a hive, or Ants or other insects, which is somewhat based on net-centric warfare, which Mavs might play a crucial role in the next two decades? .

Another issue is if swarms of organic species are so good at what they do, why try to re-invent them, just hire them as your mercenary army? Isn't that what Machiavelli said although they may not fight as hard as a citizen, there is security in numbers as the missions will be relatively simple. As a matter of fact how do we know that the enemy may unleash a situation on us, using and organic delivery theory of vector, will our Mavs be able to stay on patrol or are we best off hiring the Bats to do our dirty work and get a free dinner? And if the enemy does use organic material should we use technology of a dissimilar sort? This would keep them away and could confuse the enemies Mavs if they use sound to navigate. All options are ready and all such options should be pursued since the enemy is also pursuing options as well as current allies who may someday be foes. In any case there is much work to be done to make smaller Mavs that work and can be powered for long periods for missions, which cover many miles. Designing ways to fool optic flow network sensors will be easier than designing ways to make them work, so we ought to be aware of this as we continue to form out how we can use them to our tactical advantage.
