  • Patent number: 9856033
    Abstract: A method of recycling motor power of a movable object is provided to recycle and redistribute power from at least one motor in a decelerating state. The method comprises determining whether an operating state of at least one motor of the movable object is a decelerating state, and recycling power from the at least one motor having a decelerating state. The method also comprises redistributing the recycled power to other power consuming components of the movable object. The method of present invention increases the energy efficiency and a battery life of the movable object. The movable object may be an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

  • Publication number: 20170225795
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for assigning addresses to a plurality of functional modules carried by a movable object are provided. In one aspect, a method can comprise: (a) transmitting an activation signal from a control module to a functional module of the plurality of functional modules via a first communication interface, thereby activating the functional module for addressing, wherein the plurality of functional modules are each configured to control a component of the movable object; (b) transmitting an addressing signal comprising an address from the control module to each functional module of the plurality of functional modules via a second communication interface different from the first communication interface, thereby causing the address to be assigned to the activated functional module of step (a); and (c) repeating steps (a) and (b) for each functional module, thereby assigning an address to each functional module.

  • Publication number: 20170217571
    Abstract: Aerial vehicles are provided with one or more transformable arms (110, 310, 410, 510, 910). The one or more transformable arms (110, 310, 410, 510, 910) may support one or more propulsion units, and transform between a flight configuration where the propulsion units of the arms effect flight of the aerial vehicle, and a landing configuration, wherein the transformable arms (110, 310, 410, 510, 910) are used as a landing support that bears weight of the aerial vehicle when the aerial vehicle is not in flight. Using the transformable arms (110, 310, 410, 510, 910) as legs when the UAV is in a landed state permits the UAV to reduce weight and reduce obstruction to a payload carried by the UAV when the UA is in flight.

  • Publication number: 20170133771
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a wire connector, and a power supply assembly and an aerial vehicle using the wire connector. The aerial vehicle comprises a support frame, and a power supply assembly and a plurality of rotor assemblies arranged on the support frame. The rotor assemblies are electrically connected with the power supply assembly. The power supply assembly comprises a circuit board, a power source, wires electrically connected with the power source, and wire connectors arranged on the circuit board. The wires each comprise a conductive portion. The wire connectors each comprise a conductive member, a movable member, and an adjusting member. The movable member is arranged facing the conductive member. The conductive portion is located between the movable member and the conductive member. The adjusting member is arranged on the conductive member and penetrates through the conductive portion and the movable member.
