Abstract
The invention relates to a flight system having at least two actuated flapping wings (2), an actuated tail unit (9), a control device and an exoskeleton (1) for at least one person. The exoskeleton (1) is movable independently of the flapping wings (2). The control device is configured to receive motion sensor signals from the exoskeleton (1) and to use the motion sensor signals to define specified movement signals and to control the flapping wings (2) and/or the tail unit (9) by way of the specified movement signals. The specified movement signals can be defined such that the movements of the flapping wings (2) and/or of the tail unit (9) follow those of the exoskeleton (1).
Claims18
A flight system comprising:
- at least two actuated flapping wings;
- an actuated tail unit;
- a control device;
- and
- an exoskeleton for at least one person, the exoskeleton being movable independently of the flapping wings, and
- wherein the control device is configured to
- receive motion sensor signals from the exoskeleton,
- use the motion sensor signals to define specified movement signals, and
- control the flapping wings and/or the tail unit by way of the specified movement signals,
- wherein the specified movement signals are defined such that the movements of the flapping wings and/or of the tail unit follow those of the exoskeleton,
- wherein
- ratios of controller input variables received on the exoskeleton, the flapping wings, the tail unit and subsystems can be set to resulting controller output variables,
- the controller input variables and controller output variable can also be completely decoupled, and
- one or more measured variables are combined to form a manipulated variable.
