Unmanned aerial vehicle control system
Patent published on the 2026-06-24 in GB under Ref GB2702721 by ASPIRA AERIAL APPLICATIONS LTD [GB] (David Jolley [gb], Jon Fenning [gb])
Abstract: Fig 1 A multirotor UAV 10 flies under control of an on-board flight controller(40, fig 2). The UAV 10 has sensors e.g. laser scanner/ LIDAR 30, camera 32, GPS 34, compass 35 sending signals to the flight controller (40, fig 2). The UAV 10 uses the three-dimensional depth scanner 30 when flying in close proximity to an external structure (60, fig 4) to create a three-dimensional map of the external structure (60, fig 4) for control of the flight of the UAV 10 proximate thereto. The sensors detect[...]
Our summary: The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is controlled by an on-board flight controller using various sensors. The UAV employs a three-dimensional depth scanner to create a map of nearby structures. This mapping allows the flight controller to adjust the UAV s movement to accurately track the structure s profile.
