Guide position control method of flying object with light sensors

Abstract

In non-GPS environment such as in a valley of large buildings, it is essentially difficult to automatically control a drone. Although some SLAM-based control techniques have been recently proposed, it will take a while to build a precise map as a preparation to operate the drone. In this report, in order to instantaneously operate the drone, we propose a precise position control method using a guidance light on a drone station and a ring-shaped sensor mounted under the drone.
