The invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial
vehicle safety, and discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle
system hot
backup method and
system, and the method comprises the steps: a
backup instruction generation module receives report signals of a plurality of parts in an unmanned aerial vehicle main
system, and carries out the logic
processing of a fault
signal if at least one fault
signal exists in the report signals, and generates a
backup instruction; the system backup module switches a flight
control unit and a sensor unit of the main system to a backup flight
control unit and a backup sensor unit of the backup system according to the backup instruction; and the backup flight
control unit generates an
emergency control instruction based on the real-
time data of the backup sensor unit, and sends the
emergency control instruction to the
power unit of the main system, so that the unmanned aerial vehicle performs emergency landing. According to the embodiment of the invention, through the hot backup design of the backup system on the flight control
core component, the backup takeover can be triggered when any component has a fault, the
crash of the unmanned aerial vehicle caused by the fault is prevented, and the overall
fault tolerance rate of the system and the safety degree of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be remarkably improved.
