Hydrodynamic Robot Nozzle Control for Autonomous Water-Jet Stabilization

The Flyboard system performs self-stabilization and self-control through integrated sensors and automated control algorithms. The device independently monitors its own state via gyroscopes and accelerometers, and automatically adjusts water jet directions and intensities to maintain stability and execute maneuvers without requiring manual intervention from trained athletes.

The patent replaces manual mechanical control with an electronic control system. Microcontrollers process sensor data and automatically regulate hydrodynamic actuators, substituting the need for human operators to physically manipulate control mechanisms. This electronic substitution enables ordinary users to safely operate the device without professional training.

The control system is divided into distinct functional modules: sensor modules (gyroscopes, accelerometers, flow sensors) for state detection, processing modules (microcontrollers) for decision-making, and actuator modules (water jet nozzles, valves) for execution. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific tasks, enabling intelligent automation while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular architecture.

The control system integrates multiple functions into a unified platform that performs navigation, stabilization, maneuver control, and safety monitoring simultaneously. The same microcontroller and sensor suite handle diverse tasks including position tracking, attitude control, and collision avoidance, reducing overall system complexity compared to having separate dedicated systems for each function.
