Motion-Sensing Movable Platform Control for Independent Heading
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing motion-sensing remote controllers for movable platforms, such as aircraft, provide limited freedom in controlling the movement direction due to the nose direction always aligning with the movement direction, restricting user control strategies.
Innovation Solution
A control method and apparatus that allows for generating a control instruction causing an angle greater than 0° between the nose direction and the horizontal component of the motion velocity vector of the movable platform by receiving multiple operations on a motion-sensing controller, including operations on different objects like a joystick and trigger, to enhance control flexibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If motion-sensing control operation is used where nose direction aligns with movement direction, then control simplicity is maintained, but degree of freedom in control is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The control operations are segmented into multiple independent channels: a first operation on a first object (e.g., joystick for position) and a second operation on a second object (e.g., trigger for velocity). This segmentation allows independent control of different motion parameters, increasing the degree of freedom while maintaining operational simplicity through dedicated control functions for each channel.
2Device complexity
If nose direction always aligns with movement direction, then control strategy complexity is reduced, but control flexibility is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The control system transitions from single-dimension control (nose direction only) to multi-dimensional control by introducing independent velocity control through the second operation. This allows the movable platform to move in directions different from the nose direction, adding a new dimension of control freedom without significantly increasing overall system complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple operations on different objects are received, then degree of freedom in control is increased, but control system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control system uses universal processing logic that handles multiple operation types through a unified framework. The first operation on the first object and the second operation on the second object are processed through the same control instruction generation mechanism, allowing multi-functionality without proportionally increasing system complexity.

AI summary
A control method and apparatus for a movable platform, a movable platform and a storage medium are provided. The method comprises: receiving a first operation and a second operation input by a user, where the first operation and the second operation are operations on different objects of a motion-sensing controller, and one of the first operation and the second operation is a motion-sensing control operation of the motion-sensing controller; and in response to the first operation and the second operation, generating a control instruction, where the control instruction is used to control the movable platform, and the control instruction causes an angle greater than 0° to be formed between a nose direction of the movable platform and a horizontal component direction of a motion velocity of the movable platform.
