Handheld attitude input and head-mounted directional marks make UAV control more intuitive while helping users anticipate flight path and collisions.
Automatic trim scheduling uses airspeed-based angle of attack and actuator commands to simplify tiltrotor conversion and improve power efficiency.
Electromagnets and floor metal plates stabilize autonomous container-handling vehicles during loading, preventing tipping without bulky mechanics.
Adjustable hydrofoil wings and onboard control electronics help beginners gain stability while fitting different watercrafts at lower cost.
Injecting the test signal inside the UAV autopilot loop enables Bode plots, gain margins, and phase margins without destabilizing flight.
Multiple binocular cameras divide UAV blind zones into sectors, improving obstacle distance detection and avoidance decisions during flight.
Mode sensors decompose rotorcraft structural vibrations into fundamental modes so flight controls can adjust actuators for steadier flight.
Past location and attitude estimates guide scan-to-map matching, keeping vehicle localization reliable during wheel slip and high-speed motion.
Predicted pitch attitude and propulsor blade trim reduce pilot workload while maintaining precise compound aircraft flight-state control.
A single recoupling input automatically sequences trim, attitude retention, and autopilot layers to stabilize rotorcraft in emergencies.
Automatic collective and trim control helps rotorcraft enter autorotation quickly, preserve rotor speed, and reduce pilot workload after engine loss.
Pre-checking position and nearby vocal or display equipment helps a mobile robot choose a safe recovery motion and avoid collisions or falls.
A split UAV autopilot uses a real-time main processor and delayed co-processor commands to keep stable control with low power use.
A decoupled control model lets vectored multicopter thrusters be adjusted independently, improving stability and maneuverability in constrained flight.
Spar-mounted sensors and onboard path planning help UAVs avoid obstacles and hold stable flight in tight spaces for precise delivery.
A single recoupling input restores trim, attitude retention, and autopilot layers in sequence to cut pilot workload during emergencies.
Onboard sensors generate a virtual runway centerline so aircraft can align and track heading during takeoff in low or no visibility.
