Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a flight control apparatus, a system including the same, and a method thereof. An example embodiment of the present disclosure provides a flight control apparatus, including: at least one processor, and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the flight control apparatus to determine, based on environmental information and based on variations of a parameter for each operation mode of an aerial vehicle, a flight path among at least one candidate path associated with a destination for the aerial vehicle.
Claims19
A flight control apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the flight control apparatus to:
- determine, based on environmental information and based on variations of a parameter for each operation mode of an aerial vehicle, a flight path among at least one candidate path associated with a destination for the aerial vehicle;
- determine whether an obstacle is safe in an ascending path of the determined flight path;
- change, based on the determination of whether the obstacle is safe in the ascending path, the parameter for each operation mode of the aerial vehicle;
- control, based on the determination of whether the obstacle is safe in the ascending path, an output voltage of at least one power source of the aerial vehicle;
- and
- control, based on the controlled output voltage, a flight operation of the aerial vehicle.
A system comprising:
- a battery configured to supply power to an aerial vehicle;
- a fuel cell system configured to supply power to the aerial vehicle;
- and
- a flight control apparatus configured to:
- determine, based on environmental information and based on variations of a parameter for each operation mode of the aerial vehicle, a flight path among at least one candidate path associated with a destination for the aerial vehicle;
- determine whether an obstacle is safe in an ascending path of the determined flight path;
- change, based on the determination of whether the obstacle is safe in the ascending path, the parameter for each operation mode of the aerial vehicle;
- distribute, to the aerial vehicle, output voltages of the battery and the fuel cell system;
- and
- control, based on the determination of whether the obstacle is safe in the ascending path and based on the distributed output voltages, an operation of the aerial vehicle.
A flight control method performed by an aerial vehicle, the method comprising:
- generating at least one candidate path associated with a destination for the aerial vehicle;
- determining, based on environmental information and based on variations of a parameter for each operation mode, a flight path among the at least one candidate path;
- determining whether an obstacle is safe in an ascending path of the determined flight path;
- changing, based on the determining of whether the obstacle is safe in the ascending path, the parameter for each operation mode of the aerial vehicle;
- controlling, based on the determination of whether the obstacle is safe in the ascending path, an output voltage of at least one power source of the aerial vehicle;
- and
- controlling, based on the controlled output voltage, a flight operation of the aerial vehicle.
