Drone and drone control method

Surveying drone that identifies low-resistance paths using real-time airflow and weather data

This technology features a surveying drone and its control method, integrating a body with multiple arms and propellers, sensors for detecting airflow and calculating air resistance, a laser surveying device, a communication module, and a processor. Once survey coordinates are entered, the processor determines the flight path and controls navigation by analyzing both real-time local airflow data and external weather information.

Conventional drones typically follow pre-programmed paths between a starting point and a destination, failing to account for wind and airflow changes encountered during flight. This often leads to excessive battery consumption in headwind conditions or instability, making it difficult to reach survey points with precision.

This technology determines flight paths by keeping expected air resistance below a specific threshold. When multiple survey points are involved, it selects a route that meets average resistance criteria. It establishes a primary path based on weather data while continuously updating sub-paths in response to real-time airflow. This solution is ideal for path-based flight services such as surveying in windy coastal or mountainous regions, large-scale terrain mapping, drone delivery, and facility inspections, significantly improving flight efficiency and ensuring stable navigation even in changing weather conditions.

Key Features:

• Sensors that detect external airflow, calculate air resistance, and acquire airflow data within a set range relative to the drone's position.
• A surveying device that transmits and receives lasers to acquire data for measuring the target distance from a reference point to the survey location.
• A communication device that exchanges data with external systems to receive weather information and transmits flight data, including path details, to the user's electronic device.
• A processor that establishes a primary flight path where expected air resistance remains below a critical threshold and determines sub-paths based on real-time airflow.
