Abstract
A movable object maneuver method wherein a destination point is set; wherein a thrust value is calculated in real time which minimizes or maximizes a performance index associated with one or more state variables and thrust required for a movable object to reach the destination point and which takes into account non-linear conditions inherent to the movable object; and wherein the movable object is moved based on the calculated thrust value.
Claims44
A method of maneuvering a movable object, comprising:
- setting a destination point;
- calculating a thrust value in real time which minimizes or maximizes a performance index associated with one or more state variables and thrust required for a movable object to reach the destination point and which takes into account non-linear conditions inherent to the movable object, and
- moving the movable object based on the calculated thrust value.
A method of maneuvering a movable object, comprising:
- setting a destination point;
- calculating a thrust value in real time which minimizes or maximizes a performance index associated with thrust required for a movable object to reach the destination point;
- moving the movable object based on the calculated thrust value;
- setting one or more transit points on a planned route for the movable object;
- and sequentially setting one or more set transit points as the destination point.
A system for maneuvering a movable object, comprising:
- means for setting a destination point;
- arithmetic operation means for calculating a thrust value in real time which minimizes or maximizes a performance index associated with one or more state variables and thrust required for a movable object to reach the destination point and which takes into account non-linear conditions inherent to the movable object;
- and
- actuators for moving the movable object based on the calculated thrust value.
