Publication number: 20230410669Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (“UAV”), the UAV includes an electronic speed controller and a flight controller. The electric speed controller is interfaced with thrust motors of the UAV. The flight controller configured to: determine a geographic location and a velocity of the UAV, the velocity includes a first component and a second component. The flight controller is configured to determine a distance between the geographic location of the UAV and a closest segment of a no-fly zone. The flight controller is configured to determine a zone of deceleration, the zone of deceleration comprising: a distal section and a proximal section.

Patent number: 11462115Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (“UAV”) receives location information describing geographic boundaries of a polygonal no-fly zone (“NFZ”), the NFZ having a plurality of virtual walls each associated with a geographic line segment. The UAV identifies a closest and a second closest virtual wall of the plurality of virtual walls of the NFZ to a geographic location of the UAV. The UAV determines a first distance from the location of the UAV to a portion of the closest virtual wall nearest to the location of the UAV and a second distance from the location of the UAV to a portion of the second closest virtual wall nearest to the location of the UAV. In response to the first and/or second determined distances being less than a threshold distance, the UAV modifies a velocity and/or a trajectory of the UAV such that the UAV does not cross the virtual walls.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2020Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: GoPro, Inc.Inventor: Andreas Jager
