  • Method and system for steering an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
    Patent number: 9145201
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for steering a UAV, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, to enable a high level command of the UAV. The method comprising the steps of: determining (500) a reference position (200, 300, 400) related to a position (210, 310, 410) for a moving object (220, 320, 420) which the UAV should follow; calculating (515) a smoothed position (230, 330, 430) based on the reference position (200, 300, 400), wherein the smoothed position (230, 330, 430) is calculated so that the smoothed position (230, 330, 430) moves more smoothly than the reference position (200, 300, 400); and steering (525) the UAV so that UAV follows the smoothed position (230, 330, 430).
