Autonomous Flight for Flight Platforms
First Claim
1. A system for autonomous or semi-autonomous flight of a flight platform with flight actuators, the system comprising a stabilization subsystem for controlling the flight actuators to maintain stabilization of the flight platform in flight and a flight control subsystem for controlling the flight actuators to implement flight control of the flight platform in flight, the two subsystems operating separately, wherein the flight control subsystem is overridden by the stabilization subsystem in an event where the flight platform exceeds a predetermined stabilization threshold until the flight platform regains stability.

Abstract
A method and system for autonomous or semi-autonomous flight of a flight platform with flight actuators is disclosed. The system comprises a stabilization subsystem for controlling the flight actuators to maintain stabilization of the flight platform in flight and a flight control subsystem for controlling the flight actuators to implement flight control of the flight platform in flight. The two subsystems operate separately, wherein the flight control subsystem is overridden by the stabilization subsystem in an event where the flight platform exceeds a predetermined stabilization threshold until the flight platform regains stability.

15. A method for autonomous or semi-autonomous flight of a flight platform with flight actuators, the method comprising:
-
providing a stabilization subsystem for controlling the flight actuators and a flight control subsystem for controlling the flight actuators, the two subsystems operating separately, maintaining stabilization of the flight platform in flight by controlling the flight actuators using the stabilization subsystem, implementing flight control of the flight platform in flight by controlling the flight actuators using the flight control subsystem implement flight control, and overriding the flight control subsystem by the stabilization subsystem in an event where the flight platform exceeds a predetermined stabilization threshold until the flight platform regains stability. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
