Abstract

A remote-controlled motion apparatus is controlled by a remote control apparatus. The remote control apparatus transmits a target motion signal by radio. The remote-controlled motion apparatus includes a communication module, an acceleration sensing module, a processing module and a driving module. The communication module receives the target motion signal from the remote control apparatus. The acceleration sensing module senses an acceleration of the remote-controlled motion apparatus to output an acceleration sensing signal. The processing module is coupled with the acceleration sensing module and the communication module, and processes the acceleration sensing signal and the target motion signal to output a driving control signal. The driving module is coupled with the processing module to receive the driving control signal, and adjusts the driving of the remote-controlled motion apparatus according to the driving control signal.

Claims

1. A remote control system, comprising:

a remote controller, comprising;

a manual input module, which generates a direction control signal;

a first communication module, which connects to the manual input module and receives the direction control signal; and

a configuration switch module, which connects to the first communication module to select a first operation mode or a second operation mode, wherein a first target motion signal is transmitted according to the direction control signal in the first operation mode, a second target motion signal is transmitted according to the direction control signal in the second operation mode; and

a remote-controlled device, which is controlled by the remote controller, wherein the remote-controlled device detects its own acceleration and compares with the received first target motion signal, and according to the comparison result to control its motion in the first operation mode, and the first target motion signal is an absolute acceleration value to the remote-controlled device, the remote-controlled device takes the second target motion signal as a moving velocity in the second operation mode, and the second target motion signal is a relative acceleration value to the remote-controlled device.
