SYSTEM FOR NAVIGATION OF UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE AND METHOD USED FOR THE SAME

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for navigation of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), and also to provide a method used for the same. PSOLUTION: In a preferred embodiment, the UAV allows configuration to be carried out using at least one flight corridor and flight path, and a first UAV flight plan is calculated. During operation of the first UAV flight plan the UAV visually detects an obstacle and calculates a second UAV flight plan to avoid the obstacle. Further, during operation of the first or second UAV flight plan the UAV acoustically detects an unknown airplane and calculates a third UAV flight plan to avoid the unknown airplane. In addition, the UAV calculates a new flight plan based on other information such as the one received from a ground control station. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
