First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for fine positioning of a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) vehicle comprising:
- receiving a command to execute a bump, wherein a bump is a movement of the vehicle by a bump distance in a singular direction, wherein the bump distance is a pre-determined distance moved by the vehicle in a bump; and
generating a control signal based on the command to execute a bump, wherein the control signal causes a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) vehicle to move a bump distance.

7. A system for fine positioning of a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) vehicle comprising:
-
a user interface device including a first radio; a VTOL vehicle including; a second radio configured to communicate with the first radio; a processor; a computer readable medium coupled to the processor, the computer readable medium including instructions to implement a bump function, wherein the bump function causes the microprocessor to; receive a command to execute a bump, wherein a bump is a movement of the vehicle by a bump distance in a singular direction, wherein the bump distance is a pre-determined distance moved by the vehicle in a bump; generate flight commands to execute a bump based on the command to execute a bump; and a vehicle control system coupled to the processor, wherein the vehicle control system controls the flight of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle control system generates a control signal based on the flight commands, wherein the control signal causes the vehicle to move a bump distance. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
