Abstract
Disclosed herein are an unmanned vehicle monitoring apparatus and method. The unmanned vehicle monitoring apparatus may include a safety device including at least one of a parachute or an additional wing, or a combination thereof, and a multi-functional data recording module configured to monitor a flight state of an unmanned vehicle to detect an anomaly, control driving of the safety device according to an anomaly detection result, and record flight status data of the unmanned vehicle in a memory.
Claims16
An unmanned vehicle monitoring apparatus, comprising:
- a safety device including at least one of a parachute or an additional wing or a combination thereof;
- and
- a multi-functional data recording module configured to:
- monitor a flight state of an unmanned vehicle based on sensing information from at least one sensor configured to sense each of a GPS signal, an altitude, and a location,
- perform a control calculation for flight based on the sensing information,
- detect an anomaly using a result of the control calculation,
- control driving of the safety device according to an anomaly detection result, and
- record flight status data of the unmanned vehicle in a memory.
An unmanned vehicle monitoring method, comprising:
- monitoring a flight state of an unmanned vehicle based on sensing information from at least one sensor configured to sense each of a GPS signal, an altitude, and a location;
