  • Patent number: 10589940
    Abstract: A power wheel including a positioning device, a wireless communication module, and a controller is provided, where the controller is configured to operate in an active mode or a passive mode. When operating in the passive mode, the controller is configured to: acquire route information and moving information from the power wheel operating in the active mode by the wireless communication module, and acquire relative position information with the other power wheels by the positioning device; and determine a rotation strategy of the power wheel according to the route information, the moving information and the relative position information. When operating in the active mode, the controller is configured to: acquire the route information, and transmit the route information to the other power wheels; and determine the rotation strategy of the power wheel according to the route information. In addition, a cooperative carrying method of the power wheel is also provided.

  • Patent number: 10097214
    Abstract: An error correcting method is provided, which includes the following steps. An error value is obtained. The error value is substituted into an error correcting function, so that the error correcting function causes the error value to converge to 0 in a finite time. The error correcting function conforms to a non-Lipschitzian characteristic. An embodiment of the disclosure solves the problem in traditional system stability analysis through a differential equation, adjusts parameters to determine a convergence time, and ensures that a convergence target fully conforms to an expected value and that a unique solution of the error value is 0.

  • Patent number: 9715234
    Abstract: A multiple rotors aircraft and a control method thereof are provided. The control method comprises the following steps. First, current motion information of the multiple rotors aircraft is obtained. Then, at least one control gain is adjusted through a gain adjustment function according to the current motion information. The gain adjustment function conforms to a non-Lipschitzian characteristic, and at least one rotor of the multiple rotors aircraft is controlled according to the control gain. Therefore, the multiple rotors aircraft would be ensured that its flight attitude is toward a target position, and the expected result would be conformed rapidly.
