    Abstract: An aircraft control system and control method are disclosed. The system comprises a remote control apparatus with a first control rod and a flight controller associated with an aircraft. The first control rod is configured to move in a first movement direction to control a motion of the aircraft in a first motion direction when an external force is applied on the first control rod and after a withdrawal of the external force, the first control rod returns to a preset position. The remote control apparatus operates to generate one or more control signals corresponding to the withdrawal of the external force. The flight controller controls the aircraft to maintain a flight state based on said control signals and one or more state signals, which are generated based on a measurement of the flight state by a flight controller associated with the aircraft state measurement sensors carried by the aircraft.

    Abstract: A method of controlling a movable object includes receiving, from a user interface of a terminal, selection of a mode from a plurality of modes that include at least one of an angle-to-angle control mode, an angle-to-speed control mode, or an angle-to-acceleration control mode; detecting, by a sensor of the terminal, an attitude of the terminal; and generating, at the terminal, a control signal configured to control a rotational attribute of the movable object based on the selected mode and the detected attitude of the terminal.

    Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a payload includes a payload mount configured to be coupled to the payload to secure the payload, a first support member coupled to one side of the payload mount in a single arm configuration and including a first actuation unit configured to rotate the payload mount around a first rotational axis relative to the first support member, and a single flexible member including a branched configuration. The branched configuration includes at least a first end that is electrically coupled to the payload mount and a second end that is electrically coupled to the first actuation unit.

    Abstract: A micro inertial measurement system includes a housing, a sensing module, and a damper. The sensing module includes a rigid sensing support, a measuring and controlling circuit board mounted on the rigid sensing support and an inertial sensor set on the measuring and controlling circuit board. The inertial sensor includes a gyroscope and an accelerometer. The sensing module is mounted in the housing. The damper is mounted in the housing and set in the gap between the sensing module and the inside wall of the housing. By use of the above-mentioned structure, the noise immunity of the inertial measuring system can be greatly improved, and the volume and weight of the inertial measuring system can be greatly reduced.

    Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a payload includes a first support member coupled to the payload and a flexible member configured to be electrically coupled to the first support member and the payload. The payload is configured to rotate around a first rotational axis relative to the first support member. The flexible member is configured to (i) wind around a portion of the first support member or the payload when the payload is rotated in a first direction around the first rotational axis, and (ii) unwind from around the portion when the first support member is rotated in a second direction opposite the first direction around the first rotational axis. The flexible member is configured to transmit sensor data indicating a spatial disposition of the payload or the first support member.
