Abstract:
Methods and systems according to one or more examples are provided for controlling a multi-rotor vehicle. In one example, a multi-rotor vehicle comprises an airframe and a plurality of rotors coupled to the airframe. The multi-rotor vehicle further comprises a controller, coupled to the airframe, configured to determine a rotational speed of each of the plurality of rotors, and adjust the rotational speed of each of the plurality of rotors such that the rotors do not dwell within a no-dwell zone comprising rotational speeds associated with one or more frequency aspects of the airframe.
