Abstract: The present disclosure describes devices and methods for providing movement of a payload about at least two degrees of freedom. A gimbal mechanism as described herein can provide rotation of a payload about at least two different axes, wherein the rotation about the two axes is controlled by two actuators that can be actuated independently of one another. The two actuators can be fixed in position and orientation relative to one another, such that neither actuator is driven by the other. Therefore, the gimbal mechanism can control movement of the payload about two degrees of freedom in a parallel manner. The gimbal mechanisms described herein can have a compact configuration that allows for minimizing the volume and weight of the gimbal mechanisms, while improving the stability of movement provided by the gimbal mechanisms.

Abstract: An unmanned vehicle includes a vehicle body having an accommodating space, an arm assembly coupled to the vehicle body, and a floating member connected to a bottom surface of the vehicle body. The arm assembly includes a first rotating member, a second rotating member coupled to the first rotating member, and a propeller. The propeller includes a rotatable axle coupled to the second rotating member and extending along a rotating axis. The second rotating member can turn the propeller by rotating the rotatable axle about the rotating axis. The first rotating member can rotate and effect a movement of the second rotating member so as to selectively adjust the rotatable axle to align the rotating axis with a first axial direction and a second axial direction. The arm assembly can rotate relative to the vehicle body to selectively rotate into or out of the accommodating space.

Abstract: A method for locating external surface impacts on a body. The steps are: modeling the body in a control unit first database to obtain a virtual body model in a virtual system of reference axes; modeling, in a second database, a plurality of clouds of points in the virtual system, each cloud defining an inspection zone representing an external surface portion; selecting an inspection zone; transfering the coordinates of each point of the first and second databases to a geographic system of reference axes; determining geographic coordinates of an initial position of a range finder equipped flying drone communicating with the processing unit; calculating a drone flight plan to scan the selected inspection zone; creating a 3D meshing of the scanned inspection zone; detecting the impacts by comparing the 3D meshing and the virtual aircraft model and calculating the coordinates of each impact in the geographic and virtual systems.

Abstract: A camera drone with a function of providing real-time captured images in a certain angle (e.g., vertical to the horizon) is disclosed. The camera drone includes multiple rotor wings, a support structure, a wireless transmitter, a controller, and a camera device. The camera device includes a processor, a gravity sensor, a gyroscope, and an image module. The image module is configured to capture an original image in a real time manner. The gravity sensor and the gyroscope are used to calculate a current dip angle (i.e., inclination of a geological plane down from the horizon) of the camera drone. The current dip angle is used to calculate an angle of rotation. The camera device then generates an edited image based on the original image and the angle of rotation.
