Title:
DRONE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING DRONE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/166008
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided are a drone that is robust with respect to changes in a lower object such as the ground, and a method for controlling said drone. A flight control unit (200) performs flight control of a drone (24) by using a control altitude that is set by selecting one, or combining both, of a first distance up to a lower object as detected by an optical sensor (100) and a second distance up to the lower object as detected by an ultrasonic sensor (102). Further, when the accuracy of the optical sensor is low, the flight control unit may set the control altitude by selecting the second distance or by assigning greater weight to the second distance than to the first distance, and further, may decrease flight velocity.
