Latest Patents

Bansal is named on “Systems and Methods to Determine Flight Paths for Aerial Vehicles Based on Risk.” The invention describes systems and methods for planning and managing unmanned-vehicle operations. It uses a risk-weighted model of the operating environment to estimate cumulative risk along possible routes between an origin and a destination. The assessment can account for hazards on the ground as well as risks related to the vehicle’s flight. Route comparisons can help identify lower-risk options, while a risk threshold can indicate whether a proposed route falls within an acceptable range.

Career Highlights

Bansal’s documented patent work focuses on applying risk assessment to aerial-vehicle routing. Her association with Amazon Technologies, Inc. connects this work to a company active in technology development.

Collaborations

The patent lists Dale Lawrence Henderson and Javier Alonso Lopez among Bansal’s coworkers. Their shared work reflects a collaborative effort to develop systems for evaluating and managing risks in unmanned-vehicle flight planning.

Conclusion

Nupur Bansal’s patent contribution centers on using cumulative risk analysis to support safer, more informed flight-path decisions for unmanned aerial vehicles.
