Abstract:
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) ( 200, 300, 400, 700, 800, 1000, 1200, 1500 ) can include a central body ( 202, 302, 402, 702, 802, 1002, 1202, 1502 ), a plurality of rotors, and a plurality of arms ( 204, 306, 406, 706, 806, 1006, 1206, 1506 ) extending from the central body ( 202, 302, 402, 702, 802, 1002, 1202, 1502 ), where each arm of the plurality of arms ( 204, 306, 406, 706, 806, 1006, 1206, 1506 ) is configured to support one or more of the plurality of rotors. The UAV may include at least one sensor ( 208, 318, 418, 718, 818, 822, 1022, 1218, 1222, 1518 ) located on the UAV ( 200, 300, 400, 700, 800, 1000, 1200, 1500 ) outside of a keep-out zone, where the keep-out zone is defined at least in part by (1) a plurality of rotor disks, a rotor disk of the plurality of rotor disks for each of the plurality of rotors, each rotor disk corresponding to an area that is swept by one or more rotor blades ( 206, 308, 408, 708, 808, 1008, 1208, 1508 ) of a corresponding rotor when the rotor blades ( 206, 308, 408, 708, 808, 1008, 1208, 1508 ) are spun, and (2) a shape that is formed by adjoining respective centers of adjacent rotor disks.

Claim (Index 73):
An unmanned aerial vehicle comprising:\n a central body housing one or more controllers and attached with a plurality of protective covers; a plurality of propulsion units surrounded and protected by the plurality of protective covers to prevent the plurality of propulsion units from external impact, wherein the plurality of the propulsion units are independently controllable by the one or more controllers, and wherein a first one of the plurality of the propulsion units spins in a clockwise direction and a second one of the plurality of the propulsion units spins in a counterclockwise direction; wherein the plurality of protective covers include a plurality of arms that support the plurality of propulsion units, a plurality of sensors configured to sense an environment around the unmanned aerial vehicle and disposed on an outer portion of the plurality of protective covers to reduce obstructions or interference by other components of the unmanned aerial vehicle; a landing stand coupled with the central body and being substantially perpendicular to the plurality of arms included in the plurality of protective covers.
