Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for sending a flight plan for execution by a drone, where the flight plan is adapted to a flight controller of the drone. Receiving flight data from the drone while the drone is executing the flight plan. Determining a modification to the flight plan based on the flight data received from the drone. Sending the modification to the flight plan to the drone while the drone is executing the flight plan, such that the drone executes the flight plan as modified by the modification.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for executing a drone flight plan from a drone flight control platform, the method being executed by one or more processors and comprising:
- sending, by the one or more processors, a flight plan for execution by a drone, the flight plan being adapted to a flight controller of the drone;
- receiving, by the one or more processors, flight data from the drone while the drone is executing the flight plan;
- determining, by the one or more processors, a modification to the flight plan based on the flight data received from the drone;
- and
- sending, by the one or more processors, the modification to the flight plan to the drone while the drone is executing the flight plan, such that the drone executes the flight plan as modified by the modification.
A drone flight control platform comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and a data store coupled to the one or more processors having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- sending a flight plan for execution by a drone, the flight plan being adapted to a flight controller of the drone;
- receiving flight data from the drone while the drone is executing the flight plan;
- determining a modification to the flight plan based on the flight data received from the drone;
- and
- sending the modification to the flight plan to the drone while the drone is executing the flight plan, such that the drone executes the flight plan as modified by the modification.
