Apparatus, systems, and methods for detecting projectile hits on a surface
TLDR
In this article, the authors present a system for detecting a hit by a BB pellet, such as a BB-penetrator, in a robot game and a processor to determine whether a hit has occurred.Abstract:
A sensing apparatus may be provided capable of detecting a hit by a projectile, such as a BB pellet. The sensing apparatus may include a surface and accelerometer to detect the acceleration of the surface. A processor may determine whether a projectile hit has occurred. The sensing apparatus may be mounted onto a vehicle. The vehicle may be a robot capable of participating in a game. The robot game may occur within a facility.read more

Wall-climbing aerial robot mechanism and method of controlling the same
TL;DR: In this article, a wall-climbing aerial robot mechanism and a method of controlling the same was described. But the method of control was not discussed. But it was shown that the aerial robot can fly towards a structure and recognize a wall of the structure, allowing the robot to calculate a trajectory for landing on the wall, and then it can move along the wall to perform a task.

Outside impacting object detection system, mehod and movale object
TL;DR: In this paper, an outside impacting object detection system, method and a movable object is described, which includes at least one detection apparatus (20) and a processor (40) and is intended for acquiring the impacting intensity signal generated by the sensor (22), and determining the type of the outside impacting objects based on the sensed impacting intensity.
Patent
Mobile and automated apparatus for the detection and classification of damages on the body of a vehicle
TL;DR: In this paper, a mobile and automated apparatus for the detection and classification of damages on the body of a vehicle is presented, specifically meaning by "damage" a dent or depression on the vehicle body caused by pressure applied on such body by an external object (hail-stone or other), characterized in that it comprises a support structure defining a passage area for a motor vehicle having a body; the support structure comprises: lighting means adapted to project a grid pattern on the surfaces of the body, speed sensor adapted to measure the speed of the vehicle, distance sensor and image recording means
