Abstract: A flying machine storage container is provided that comprises multiple charging stations and a clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism is configured to secure flying machines in the charging stations and securely close charging circuits between the storage container and the flying machines. A system for launching flying machines is also provided. The system comprises two regions and a transition region between the two regions. The two regions each constrain the positioning of a flying machine and the transition region enables a flying machine to move from the first region to the second region to reach an exit. A flying machine having sufficient performance capabilities will be able to successfully launch. Centralized and decentralized communication architectures are also provided for communicating data between a central control system, multiple storage containers, and multiple stored flying machines stored at each of the storage containers.

Abstract: A flying device includes a plurality of rotary vanes, a motor element serving as a driving source for each of the plurality of rotary vanes, the motor element driving and rotating a main shaft of the rotary vanes, and a drive circuit. The motor element includes a stator, a rotor, and a pair of bearings. The stator includes a stator core having an annular yoke and a plurality of teeth projecting inward from the annular yoke, and stator windings wound respectively around the plurality of teeth of the stator core. The rotor includes a permanent magnet of a cylindrical shape located inside the stator core via a gap, the permanent magnet being positioned counter to the plurality of teeth, a rotor yoke in contact with a cylindrical inner wall surface of the permanent magnet, and a shaft pivotally supported at an axis of the rotor yoke, the shaft being connected to the main shaft. The pair of bearings pivotally support the shaft to allow the shaft to rotate freely, and are located respectively on both sides of a direction of a rotating shaft of the rotor. The permanent magnet has anisotropically arranged magnetic poles, and a number of the magnetic poles is P representing an even number. The permanent magnet is configured such that the rotor yoke is smaller in weight than the permanent magnet. The drive circuit controls a stator current supplied to the stator windings.

Abstract: A motor controller of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is optimized to improve operation of the UAV. The motor control optimizations include controlling a motor of a UAV to reduce an operating temperature of the UAV, reducing an amount of latency or jitter resulting from motor operation, and applying a smoothing filter for motor operation. For example, controlling a motor of a UAV to reduce an operating temperature of the UAV can include using a temperature model for the unmanned aerial vehicle or an operating temperature measurement to determine a current operating temperature and comparing that current operating temperature to a threshold. If the threshold is exceeded, settings of the motor are adjusted to cause the motor to operate in a manner that reduces the current operating temperature.

Abstract: A method for controlling an electric speed controller includes receiving an addressing instruction from a flight controller. The addressing instruction is used for addressing the electric speed controller with a target addressing number. The method further includes determining whether a throttle characteristic signal is received, and, if the throttle characteristic signal is received, sending a feedback signal for responding to the addressing instruction and recording the target addressing number according to the addressing instruction.
