Abstract: The invention relates to a method for updating a control model for automatic control of at least one mobile unit. A central control unit generates a detection task and transmits same to the mobile unit. The mobile unit comprises sensors, and the detection task comprises conditions for detecting sensor data sets by means of the sensors. The mobile unit detects the sensor data sets by means of the sensors using the detection task, generates transmission data using the detected sensor data sets, and transmits the transmission data to the central control unit. The central control unit receives the transmission data and generates an updated control model using the received transmission data. The system according to the invention for updating a control model for automatic control of at least one mobile unit comprises a central control unit by means of which a detection task may be generated and transmitted to the mobile unit.

Abstract: An automated parking movement path is generated such that a vehicle speed and a steering angle are set so as to enable a full steering axial force to be applied within a range of being less than a maximum driving force which depends on the temperature of a steering motor. Consequently, a load on the steering motor is suppressed, and thus a rise in the temperature of a steering motor is suppressed within the movement path from a movement starting position to a movement ending position.

Abstract: A remote-controlled vehicle includes a vehicle body, a first wheel, a second wheel, and a camera mount. The first wheel is rotatably coupled to a first side of the vehicle body, and the second wheel is rotatably coupled to a second side of the vehicle body. Each of the first wheel and the second wheel has a first height measured in a direction perpendicular to a central longitudinal plane of the vehicle body. The camera mount is coupled to the vehicle body, and the camera mount is configured to removably couple to a camera device. The camera mount has a second height measured in the direction perpendicular to the central longitudinal plane, and the second height is less than the first height such that the camera mount does not extend outside of the first height.

Abstract: Presented are weight distribution systems for aircraft center of gravity (CG) management, methods for making/operating such systems, and aircraft equipped with CG management systems. A method is presented for managing the CG of an aircraft. The aircraft includes first and second landing gears and an airframe that removably attaches thereto one or more payloads and/or hardware modules. The method includes supporting the aircraft on a support leg that operatively attaches to the airframe and, while supported on the support leg, determining if the aircraft pivots onto the first or second landing gear. If the aircraft pivots onto either landing gear, the method responsively identifies a new airframe position for the payload/hardware module that will shift the aircraft's CG to within a calibrated “acceptable” CG range; doing so should balance the aircraft on the support leg. The payload/hardware module is then relocated to the new airframe position.

Abstract: A vertical take-off and landing (“VTOL”) unmanned aerial vehicle (“UAV”) system and a method of controlling the same, wherein such method controls the stability and maneuverability of the VTOL UAV by manipulating the speeds of the propellers at each rotor. The VTOL UAV includes a body with three extending arms, wherein each of such arms is aligned and fixed at a certain angle from a central axis passing through the body. Each extending arm is equipped with a rotor with propellers. The rotors are sufficient to control the yaw of the UAV, and there is no need for coaxial rotors or an extra servo-motor in order to control the yaw of the UAV, thus reducing the cost and the weight of the UAV.

Abstract: A piloting assistance system for an aircraft includes a measuring module for measuring a vertical manoeuvre of the aircraft, a computational module for computing a first load factor from the measured vertical manoeuvre and from a setpoint vertical manoeuvre, a measuring module for measuring an inclination angle, a pitch rate and a pitch acceleration, a protection module including a computational submodule configured to compute a second load factor and a comparison submodule in order to compare the first and the second load factor in order to determine an applicable load factor equal to the minimum between the first and the second load factor, a computational module configured to compute elevator control from the applicable load factor and a sending module configured to send the elevator control to the automatic pilot.
