SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ESTIMATING USER INTENT TO LAUNCH AUTONOMOUS AERIAL VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18215665 Titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ESTIMATING USER INTENT TO LAUNCH AUTONOMOUS AERIAL VEHICLE'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for detecting the launch of an autonomous vehicle using various sensors, such as acceleration sensors and touch sensors. The method involves receiving inputs from these sensors, determining if a launch has occurred based on the inputs, and controlling the vehicle accordingly. If a launch is detected, the motor of the vehicle is activated. This approach aims to improve safety and reliability by reducing false positive launch detections, which could lead to unnecessary activation of the motor.
Original Abstract Submitted
Detection of a launch event of an autonomous vehicle may consider input from a variety of sensors, including acceleration sensors and touch sensors In some aspects, a method includes receiving a first input from a touch sensor, receiving a second input from an accelerometer, determining whether a launch of the autonomous vehicle is detected based on the first input and the second input, and controlling the autonomous vehicle in response to the determining. In some aspects, when a launch is detected, a motor of the autonomous vehicle may be energized. By detecting a launch event in this manner, improved safety and reliability may be realized. A reduced occurrence of false positive launch events may reduce a risk that the motor of the autonomous vehicle is energized when the vehicle has not actually been launched.
