  • Patent number: 11619952
    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle may include: a sensor part configured to acquire inertia information or position information of the unmanned aerial vehicle; and a controller. The controller is configured to estimate the position of the unmanned aerial vehicle by applying the information acquired by the sensor part to an extended Kalman filter and control movement of the unmanned aerial vehicle, based on the estimated position of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The sensor part includes: an inertia sensor configured to acquire the inertia information of the unmanned aerial vehicle; a tag recognition sensor configured to recognize a tag attached to a rack and acquire absolute position information of the unmanned aerial vehicle; and an image sensor attached to the unmanned aerial vehicle so as to acquire an image of the movement environment of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
