Drones have become increasingly popular in recent years, and their advanced motion sensing and perception systems are a key reason why. These systems allow drones to navigate through complex environments, avoid obstacles, and maintain stable flight. But how do these systems work?
At the heart of a drone’s motion sensing and perception system is a combination of sensors and algorithms. The sensors detect changes in the drone’s environment, such as changes in altitude, speed, and direction. The algorithms then use this information to make decisions about how the drone should move.
One of the most important sensors in a drone’s motion sensing and perception system is the inertial measurement unit (IMU).
