  • Patent number: 11640178
    Abstract: [Problem to be Solved] The object is to provide a device, a method and the like which, when a fault occurs, particularly when a fault occurs in an operation of some of rotary wings, can control a flight depending on the fault, or which can be at least used for control when a fault occurs, or which can detect the fault.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20200378927
    Abstract: The present invention makes it possible for sounding of an inspection location on an outer wall of a building or the like to be performed using a simple operation. A user interface device accepts an input for designating an inspection location. The mobile robot device flies autonomously and moves to the inspection location, on the basis of the input into the user interface device and the current location of the mobile robot device. The mobile robot device inspects the inspection location using an inspection means such as a sounding means.

  • Patent number: 7539561
    Abstract: An objective of the invention, focusing on these issues involved in the use of a small, hobby-type, unmanned helicopter, is to develop an autonomous control system comprising autonomous control systems for a small unmanned helicopter, to be mounted on said small unmanned helicopter; a servo pulse mixing/switching unit; a radio-controlled pulse generator; and autonomous control algorithms that are appropriate for the autonomous control of the aforementioned small unmanned helicopter, thereby providing an autonomous control system that provides autonomous control on the helicopter toward target values.

  • Patent number: 7510141
    Abstract: An autonomous control method autonomously controls a small unmanned helicopter toward target values, such as a set position and velocity, by deriving model formulas well suited for the autonomous control of small unmanned helicopters, by designing an autonomous control algorithm based on the model formulas, and by calculating the autonomous control algorithm. The autonomous control system includes sensors that detect current position, attitude angle, altitude relative to the ground, and absolute azimuth of a nose of the small unmanned helicopter; a primary computational unit that calculates optimal control reference values for driving the helicopter from a target position or velocity values; a secondary computational unit that converts data collected by the sensors and the computational results as numeric values that are output by the primary computational unit into pulse signals; a ground station host computer used as the computational unit for the autonomous control system; and so on.
