  • Publication number: 20210323619
    Abstract: A wall-climbing drone using an auxiliary arm and a method for controlling therefore are disclosed. The wall-climbing drone according to an example of embodiments includes at least one front wheel for moving a drone on a wall by being attached on one surface of a body in contact with the wall and controlling rotation by a wall-climbing motor; an auxiliary arm including a link having one degree of freedom connected to a part of the body and changing an angle and an auxiliary wheel attached to an end of the link; a power transmission system for controlling power transmission by connecting a belt between the body and the auxiliary arm and using the belt; and a controlling unit for controlling propulsion force of each of at least one propellant according to an angle between the auxiliary arm and the body in a state attached to the wall, controlling power transmission of the power transmission system, and controlling movement of the drone by controlling rotation of the motor.

  • Patent number: 10679090
    Abstract: A method for estimating 6-DOF relative displacement using vision-based localization and apparatus therefor are disclosed. A method for estimating 6-DOF relative displacement may include acquiring images of a first marker attached to a fixing member and a second marker attached to a dynamic member for assembling to the fixing member by using a camera, extracting a feature point of the first marker and a feature point of the second marker through image processing for the acquired images, and estimating 6-DOF relative displacement of the dynamic member for the fixing member based on the extracted feature point of the first marker and feature point of the second marker.

  • Patent number: 10265855
    Abstract: Disclosed are a wall-climbing aerial robot mechanism and a method of controlling the same. The method of controlling a wall-climbing aerial robot includes allowing the aerial robot to fly towards a structure, allowing the aerial robot to approach the structure and recognize a wall of the structure, allowing the aerial robot to calculate a trajectory for landing on the wall of the structure, approach the wall of the structure after taking an orientation, and be attached on the wall of the structure, and allowing the aerial robot to move along the wall of the structure to perform a task.
