Abstract: An aerial vehicle comprises one or more sensors to environmental data, a communication system to receive control inputs from a user, two or more actuators, with each actuator coupled to a rotary wing. The aerial vehicle also comprises a controller to determine a mode of the aerial vehicle based on the environmental data and the control inputs, each mode indicating a set of flight characteristics for the aerial vehicle, generate a gain value based on the mode, the gain value, when used to modify power signals transmitted to actuators of the aerial vehicle, causes the aerial vehicle to conform within the indicated flight characteristics of the determined mode, generate an output signal modified by the gain value based on the input signal, and transmit a power signal based on the output signal to each actuator of the aerial vehicle.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle, including a camera, one or more sensors, one or more actuators, controllers, and a memory. The one or more sensors are configured to gather data. The one or more actuators are configured to control the aerial vehicle based on the data. The memory stores instructions. The instructions, when executed by one or more of the controllers, cause one or more of the controllers to determine an input of the unmanned aerial vehicle, generate one or more gain values based on the input, and change a gain value based on the input.
