An aerial system includes a body, a lift mechanism coupled to the body, a processing system, and at least one camera. The aerial system also includes a first motor configured to rotate the at least one camera about a first axis and a second motor configured to rotate the at least one camera about a second axis. The processing system is configured to determine a direction of travel of the aerial system and to cause the first motor and the second motor to automatically orient the at least one camera about the first axis and the second axis such that the at least one camera automatically faces the direction of travel of the aerial system.
An aerial system, comprising:
A method for use with an aerial system, the aerial system including a body, a lift mechanism coupled to the body and an obstacle detection and avoidance system coupled to the body and configured to achieve obstacle avoidance, the obstacle detection and avoidance system including a sensor housing, at least one sensor within the sensor housing, an actuation mechanism coupled between the body and the sensor housing and configured to rotate the sensor housing about at least two axes and a processing system coupled to the at least one sensor and the actuation mechanism, the processing system configured to perform the steps of:
