Enhanced Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Flight Along Computed Splines
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18967787 titled 'Enhanced Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Flight Along Computed Splines
Original Abstract Submitted
Technology for operating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is disclosed herein that allows a drone to be flown along a computed spline, while also accommodating in-flight modifications. In various implementations, a UAV includes a flight control subsystem and an electromechanical subsystem. The flight control subsystem records keyframes during flight and computes a spline based on the keyframes. The flight control subsystem then saves the computed spline for playback, at which time the UAV automatically flies in accordance with the computed spline.
