Autonomous takeoff is integral to Rotomotion’s control package,
but requires proper calibration of sensor gains.
Autonomous hovering and GPS
waypoint navigation is integral to
Rotomotion’s control package,
but requires a collision avoidance
system for true safety of flight.
The cargo must be lowered at
sufficient speed to avoid possible
buildup of oscillations.
Stable hovering is especially
important while unloading the UGV.

Autonomous landing is integral to Rotomotion’s control package,
but requires identification of proper landing zone through
sensor systems for truly reliable
landings.
The cargo must be raised at sufficient
speed to avoid possible buildup of
oscillations, but less weight during raising means less
risk.
Stable hovering is especially
important while loading the UGV. Servoing of UGV
into the tray requires accurate
sensors and failsafe tray design.
