Problems solved by technology

[0011] These Erle-Brain and Pixhawk modules are therefore not suitable for individually controlling the propulsion system of the UAV and therefore do not make it possible to control said UAV as a whole in an autonomous manner

Embodiment Construction

[0040] An embodiment of the device of the present invention will now be described.

[0041] figure 1 A drone 10 is shown, in this case a fixed wing drone of the flying wing type, such as Parrot's Disco type.

[0042] The UAV 10 comprises a UAV body (fuselage) 12 configured at the rear with a propulsion system including, for example, a motor and a propeller 14 and at the sides with two wings 16, which are positioned at the sides. Shown is the extended drone body 12 in a "flying wing" configuration. On the trailing edge side, the wing 16 is provided with control surfaces 18 which can be oriented by means of servo motors to control the trajectory of the drone. The drone is also equipped with a forward looking camera 20 for capturing images of the scene the drone is facing.

[0043] The drone 10 is piloted by a remote control device 22 equipped with a touch screen configured to display images captured by the camera 20 as well as various pilot controls available to the user. Th...

Abstract

Integrated control / command module for a flying drone. A module for a drone that integrates an electronic circuit (100) and one or more sensors (104-116) for the attitude, altitude, speed, orientationand / or position of the drone in the same one-piece housing (48). The module also integrates an electronic power circuit (200) that receives set command values prepared by the processor of the electronic circuit on the basis of the data provided by the integrated sensors and provides, as an output, corresponding signals for directly supplying current or voltage to the propulsion means of the droneand to the control surfaces.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the remote piloting of motorized aerial vehicles, hereafter generally referred to as "drones". [0002] More specifically, the present invention relates to fixed wing drones, especially "flying wing" types such as the eBee type from SenseFly of Cheseaux-Lausanne, Switzerland (which is a professional terrain mapping drone) or the recent Parrot SA of Paris, France. Launched Disco type. Background technique [0003] These drones are piloted remotely by users with a remote that allows them to send piloting commands (such as climb, descend, turn right or left, accelerate / decelerate, etc.) View the image captured by the drone camera on the screen. The drone itself relies on instructions received from the remote controller to generate flight control commands, i.e. engine speed for the propulsion system, commands to the control surfaces, and so on. Among the multiple sensors carried by the UAV, such as inertial units (three-...
