Abstract: A motorized movement device includes a frame, first and second wheels connected to the frame, and first and second motors connected respectively to the first and second wheels that are commandable by respective command signals. The motorized device also includes an inertial measuring unit configured to detect the longitudinal acceleration, pitch angular speed, and yaw angular speed of the movement device and for providing signals representative of the same. The motorized device also includes sensors for detecting speeds of the wheels and configured to provide signals representative thereof. The motorized device further includes a control unit comprising a module for estimating the slope, and longitudinal thrust exerted by a user to the device, yaw torque applied by the user. The control unit also includes a module for compensating the slope, a thrust amplifying module, a yaw torque amplifying module, and a torque allocating module.
Abstract: Drone (5) which comprises a plurality of propellers (16) driven by motors (17) supported by at least one structure (18) with a winch (8) provided with a drum which can rotate by means of a motor (22) to unwind or wind a suspended cable (6), characterized in that the structure (18) comprises a central seat (19) in which the winch (8) is arranged, so that the center of mass of the drone (5) falls into the drum of the winch (8). The present description also relates to a method of controlling the attitude of the drone (5).
