  • Assisted takeoff
    Patent number: 11204611
    Abstract: A method of assisted takeoff of a movable object includes increasing output to an actuator that drives a propulsion unit of the movable object under a first feedback control scheme, determining whether the movable object has met a takeoff threshold, and controlling the output to the actuator using a second feedback control scheme different from the first feedback control scheme in response to the movable object having met the takeoff threshold.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 21, 2018
    Date of Patent: December 21, 2021
    Assignee: SZ DJI TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.

  • Assisted takeoff
    Patent number: 10061327
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for assisted takeoff of an aerial vehicle. The aerial vehicle may takeoff using a first control scheme and switch to a second control scheme for normal flight when a takeoff threshold is met. The first control scheme optionally does not use integral control while the second control scheme may use integral control. The aerial vehicle may determine that a takeoff threshold is met, based on an output to a motor of the aerial vehicle and/or an acceleration of the aerial vehicle.
