摘要: A method for emulating control signals for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The method comprises using an integrated circuit installed on the UAV and communicatively coupled to a flight control processor and a companion processor for receiving flight control parameters from the companion processor, the flight control parameters are based data from a plurality of sensors communicatively coupled to the companion processor and mounted on the UAV, wirelessly receiving remote control signals from a remote control unit, modulating the flight control parameters to create emulated signals emulating a signals generated by a remote control designated to wirelessly control the UAV, the emulated signals encode instructions to maneuver the UAV, and switching between the remote control signals and the emulated signals during a flight time of the UAV.

摘要: There is provided a method of automatically landing a drone on a landing pad having thereon guiding-elements arranged in a pattern relative to a central region of the landing pad, comprising: receiving first image(s) captured by a camera of the drone, processing the first image(s) to compute a segmentation mask according to an estimate of a location of the landing pad, receiving second image(s) captured by the camera, processing the second image(s) according to the segmentation mask to compute a segmented region and extracting from the segmented region guiding-element(s), determining a vector for each of the extracted guiding-element(s), and aggregating the vectors to compute an estimated location of the central region of the landing pad, and navigating and landing the drone on the landing pad according to the estimated location of the central region of the landing pad.
