Abstract
An autonomous drone is provided. When a remote control circuit of a remote controller is triggered to output a remote control signal, a main controller of a drone records the remote control signal and a flight control panel of the drone controls the drone to fly according to the remote control signal. When the remote controller is triggered to output an automatic flight signal, a signal receiver of the drone receives and transmits the automatic flight signal to the main controller. At this time, the main controller instructs the flight control panel to control the drone to fly according to movement instruction messages of the remote control signal previously recorded.
Claims7
An autonomous drone, which is applicable to a remote controller including a remote control circuit and a signal transmitter, wherein the signal transmitter is electrically connected to the remote control circuit, a plurality of movement trigger components and a flight mode trigger component are disposed on the remote controller and adjacent to the remote control circuit, the remote control circuit is triggered to generate a remote control signal in response to each of the movement trigger components being pressed, the remote control circuit is triggered to generate an automatic flight signal in response to the flight mode trigger component being pressed, and the signal transmitter outputs the remote control signal and the automatic flight signal, the autonomous drone comprising:
- a drone body;
- a signal receiver disposed on the drone body and wirelessly connected to the signal transmitter, and configured to receive and transmit the remote control signal and the automatic flight signal from the signal transmitter;
- a main controller disposed inside the drone body and connected to the signal receiver, wherein the main controller includes a main control component configured to receive, record and transmit the remote control signal from the signal receiver, and after the main control component receives the automatic flight signal from the signal receiver, the main control component uses a movement instruction message instructed by the remote control signal previously received as historical flight reference data, and outputs a main control flight signal according to the historical flight reference data;
- and
- a flight control panel disposed inside the drone body, wherein the flight control panel is connected to the drone body and the main controller, the flight control panel is configured to control the drone body to fly according to the remote control signal from the main controller, and when the flight control panel receives the main control flight signal, the flight control panel controls the drone body to fly in a previous flying manner according to the main control flight signal.
