    摘要: A remote control unit of an unmanned vehicle comprises a first communications subsystem, a processor, and a graphics processor. The first communications subsystem may be operable to receive sensor data via a first communication link between the remote control unit and the unmanned vehicle. The processor may be operable to determine a position and orientation of the unmanned vehicle based on the sensor data. The first communication subsystem may be operable to receive, via a second communication link between the remote control unit and the unmanned vehicle, a live first-person view from a camera of the unmanned vehicle. The graphics processor may be operable to generate a virtual first-person view from apriori data based on the sensor data. The processor may be operable to determine whether to present said live first-person view or said virtual first-person view based on signal quality of said second communication link.

    摘要: A controller system of an aerial vehicle may receive environmental data from one or more sensors of the aerial vehicle and adjusts limits of the aerial vehicle given the environmental conditions. When the aerial vehicle receives an input, such as a flight input from a remote controller or an environmental input such as a gust of wind, the controller system calculates appropriate motor inputs that are provided to the thrust motors of the aerial vehicle such that the adjusted limits of the aerial vehicle are not exceeded. In calculating the appropriate input to the thrust motors, the controller system performs an iterative process. For example, for a given maximum torque that can be applied to the thrust motors, the controller system iteratively allocates the torque such that torque components that are important for the stability of the aerial are first fulfilled, whereas subsequent torque components may be fulfilled or scaled back.
