Intuitive piloting method of a drone by means of a remote control device

摘要

The method involves computing a relative angular orientation of a drone (10) with respect to a remote control apparatus (16) from two orientation data. A global reference frame (36) of the apparatus is realigned on a reference frame of the drone by application to piloting commands of rotation so as to produce realigned setpoint values according to a pitch and roll axes of the drone. The pitch and roll axes are a function of the inclinations applied to the apparatus by a user with respect to a local reference frame linked to the apparatus.
