Gimbal control method based on predicted aircraft trajectory
The granted patent US12075159B2 outlines a gimbal servo control method and device designed for aircraft, focusing on enhancing the stability and responsiveness of gimbal systems during flight. The method involves utilizing a processor to predict the flight trajectory of the aircraft within a specified time frame and adjusting the gimbal's attitude based on the predicted velocity direction at specific points along this trajectory. The control device includes a control interface, a processor, and memory containing computer program code that facilitates these operations. The device can determine the predicted flight trajectory by analyzing the aircraft's current position, flight status, and user input, ensuring that the gimbal's adjustments are closely aligned with the aircraft's movements.
Additionally, the patent details various configurations for the control device, including the ability to adjust the gimbal's roll angle based on predicted centripetal acceleration and the aircraft's roll angle information. The device can also respond to user commands for entering preset flight modes and can utilize somatosensory control signals from a mobile terminal to influence flight actions. The comprehensive approach outlined in the claims aims to improve the gimbal's performance by ensuring that its adjustments are timely and accurately reflect the aircraft's dynamics, thereby enhancing the overall flight experience and stability of the gimbal system.
