摘要: An aerial vehicle and system for automatically detecting an object (e.g., human, pet, or other animal) approaching the aerial vehicle is described. When an approaching object is detected by an object detection component, a safety profile may be executed to reduce or avoid any potential harm to the object and/or the aerial vehicle. For example, if the object is detected entering a safety perimeter of the aerial vehicle, the rotation of a propeller closest to the object may be stopped to avoid harming the object and rotations of remaining propellers may be modified to maintain control and flight of the aerial vehicle.

摘要: A motor control system (1), preferably for an aircraft, having a plurality of motors (3), each having a motor control unit (2) that includes a primary motor controller (COM) configured to provide motor control commands (9) to a corresponding motor (3). The system (1) also has a system control unit (COMstring) in communication with each of the primary motor controllers (COM), configured to provide motor control commands (9) to the primary motor controllers. A system monitoring unit (MONstring) is connected to the system control unit for monitoring an operation thereof, and at least one sensor (4) determines an operation state of at least one of the motors. The sensor is connected with the system monitoring unit, which is configured to disable communication between the system control unit and the primary motor controllers and/or between the primary motor controllers and the motors based on the monitoring and/or the determined operation state.

摘要: A method of controlling an overly determined actuator system that has a first number of actuators (αi) which is greater than a second number of the actuators needed to perform a predetermined physical task. The method includes: automatically controlling the first number of actuators by a control unit (CU) for jointly performing the predetermined physical task; repeatedly checking a functional state of the first number of actuators to detect an actuator failure of any one thereof; in case of any detected actuator failure, generating at least one emergency signal (EM) representative of an adapted physical task to be performed by a remaining number of the actuators. The emergency signal is generated based on kinematics of the actuator system, on known physical capacities at least of the remaining actuators, and optionally on a computational performance model of the actuator system. The adapted physical task includes activating each of the remaining actuators below a predetermined threshold of maximum physical load on a respective actuator and activating the ensemble of remaining actuators in a way to prevent further damage to the actuator system. An emergency control system and an aircraft are also provided.

摘要: This vehicle brake device comprises: a simultaneous driving determination section which determines whether it is necessary to simultaneously drive an upstream-side motor and a downstream-side motor; and a PWM control section which, when the determination result by the simultaneous driving determination section is in the affirmative, changes the duty ratio of the PWM signal to be output to the upstream-side motor so as to be smaller than when the determination result by the simultaneous driving determination section is in the negative, and uses PWM control to drive the upstream-side motor.
