Abstract
An aerial vehicle includes a battery, a propulsion system including a motor and a rotor, and a flight controller configured to: in response to one or more parameters of the battery not satisfying a preset condition, cause the aerial vehicle to enter a warm up mode, in which the motor drives the rotor to rotate but the aerial vehicle is prevented from taking off, and while the aerial vehicle is in the warm up mode, in response to the one or more parameters of the battery satisfying the preset condition, allow the aerial vehicle to take off.
Claims20
An aerial vehicle, comprising:
- a battery;
- a propulsion system including a motor and a rotor;
- and
- a flight controller configured to:
- in response to one or more parameters of the battery not satisfying a preset condition, cause the aerial vehicle to enter a warm up mode, in which the motor drives the rotor to rotate but the aerial vehicle is prevented from taking off;
- and
- while the aerial vehicle is in the warm up mode, in response to the one or more parameters of the battery satisfying the preset condition, allow the aerial vehicle to take off.
A method comprising:
- in response to one or more parameters of a battery of an aerial vehicle not satisfying a preset condition, causing the aerial vehicle to enter a warm up mode, in which a motor of the aerial vehicle drives a rotor of the aerial vehicle to rotate but the aerial vehicle is prevented from taking off;
- and
- while the aerial vehicle is in the warm up mode, in response to the one or more parameters of the battery satisfying the preset condition, allowing the aerial vehicle to take off.
