Autonomous aerial vehicle technology and, more specifically, environmental illumination for autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles involves, in some embodiments, a UAV including upward-facing image capture devices, downward-facing image capture devices, one or more illumination sources, and a computer system. The computer system is configured to direct the one or more illumination sources to selectively emit light into a surrounding physical environment while the UAV is in flight, process images captured by any one or more of the plurality of upward-facing image capture devices or the plurality of downward-facing image capture devices to estimate a position and/or orientation of the aerial vehicle, generate a planned trajectory for the aerial vehicle through a physical environment based on the processing of the images, and control a propulsion system and/or flight surface of the aerial vehicle to cause the aerial vehicle to autonomously maneuver along the planned trajectory.

Environment illumination for autonomous aerial vehicles

An unmanned aerial vehicle system that includes an unmanned aerial vehicle and an attachment. The unmanned aerial vehicle includes an attachment interface located on a side of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The attachment is configured to removably couple to the attachment interface such that the attachment is positioned adjacent to the side of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
